Schema Therapy: Distinctive Features

Schema Therapy combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques with elements of interpersonal, experiential and psychodynamic therapy to help people with long-term mental health problems such as personality disorder and chronic depression. Schema Therapy proposes that many negative cognitive states are based on past experiences and offers models for challenging and changing negative thoughts and behaviors in order to bring about change as a result.

In this book, Eshkol Rafaeli, David Bernstein, and Jeffrey Young highlight 30 distinctive features of Schema Therapy and how this method can be adapted to the broader CBT spectrum.

This book, which consists of two parts: Theoretical Parts and Application Parts, is a concise introduction for those new to the technique; For those with experience in the field, it provides a discussion of how this technique differs from other Cognitive Behavioral Therapies.

"This book explains Schema Therapy beautifully and covers all the key areas in the current development of Schema Therapy in an authoritative and concise manner."
George Lockwood, Director of the Midwest Schema Therapy Institute, USA
