Personality disorders are among the most resistant clinical problems presented to therapists-and they are evident in the majority of private practice patients. This books discusses schema-focused therapy, an integrative approach developed by the author to treat characterological patients including borderline, narcissistic, avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, passive-agresssive, and histrionic personality disorders. In addition to presenting the rational, theory, and practical techniques of schema-focused therapy, this third edition includes an extended case example and revised editions of the Young Schema Questionnaire, Client's Guide, and schema listings.
