The Schema Therapy Clinician's Guide

The Schema Therapy Clinician’s Guide is a complete clinical resource for psychotherapists implementing schema therapy, group schema therapy, or a combination of both in a structured, cost-effective way. The authors provide ready-made individual and group sessions with patient hand-outs.

A unique resource providing ready-made individual and group schema therapy sessions, linked across schema modes, allows clinicians to pick and choose what they need or adopt a fully integrated individual and group programme. This can be delivered over a range of treatment lengths, from a six-week intensive programme to a one-year outpatient treatment.

Approaching treatment by targeting maladaptive Schema Modes rather than specific disorders increases clinical flexibility and ensures lasting relevance through changes in diagnostic classification.

The book provides step-by-step instructions and tips for therapists, along with a wealth of unique clinical resources. These include sample scripts, handouts, session exercises, assignment forms, and patient materials.

This guide meets the current need for effective clinical treatments that can deliver tangible effects on time and within budget.
