Joan M Farrell: The Schema Therapy Clinician's Guide, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Schema Therapy Clinician's Guide is a complete clinical resource for psychotherapists looking to implement schema therapy, group schema therapy or a combination of both in a structured, cost-effective way. Written by world leaders in the field, including the creators of group schema therapy, this book is based on the only model for integrated, time-limited schema therapy that has been proven in research studies. Accessible for schema therapy beginners, the book will also be invaluable for group or individual therapists interested in combining the two approaches, and for clinicians seeking ready-made resources for work on specific schema modes.

The authors provide ready-to-use individual and group sessions with patient hand-outs, independently effective but also linked by schema mode, that can be delivered across a range of treatment lengths. It divides the work of Schema therapy into its basic components of cognitive, experiential and behavioral pattern-breaking work, focusing on one of these components at a time in sessions. Readers can thus select the formats and modes that are most appropriate for the needs of their own patient group and then use those sessions as a basis for planning and delivering a treatment program. Ways to balance individual and group focus are discussed throughout.
