Synopsis

Schema Therapy – A Phase\-Oriented Approach <\/i> presents an innovative technique for keeping control of the therapeutic process, achieving more depth and accessing more client emotions in individual and group schema therapy. By structuring the overall long\-term therapy into four distinct phases, each with specific associated goals, attitudes, exercises and requirements for progression, the therapist and client can work together, one step at a time, toward a successful outcome. \n

\nThe book offers clear guidelines for achieving an optimal balance between confrontation and collaboration, work and play, rules and freedom, and cognitive, behavioural and experiential techniques. Phase 1 focuses on safety and security; phase 2 stirs up old pain and emotions, phase 3 encourages the client to take control, and phase 4 is about learning to live happily as a human being – with all its associated pitfalls. Each chapter contains a wealth of phase\-specific exercises, points of concern and practical tips. A final chapter answers frequently asked schema therapy questions and provides guidance for adapting the phase\-oriented approach to other formats and contexts.
