"Contextual Schema Therapy is groundbreaking in its integration of
concepts and interventions from third wave cognitive therapy models
to expand schema therapy while maintaining the integrity of Young's
model. The structure of the book, with sections on principles,
summary, and therapist tips, keep the model clear and manageable,
making it user-friendly for those new to schema therapy in addition
to expert therapists. It balances theory with practical advice
about how to implement schema therapy interventions. The detailed
case examples illustrate the application of the model, including
masterful scripts for explaining concepts to clients, and diagrams
of the specifics of interventions. In addition, Contextual Schema
Therapy fills a gap by drawing interventions from third wave models
to develop the Healthy Adult Mode. I recommend this book highly for
all schema therapists, and congratulate the authors on this
important contribution to the practice of schema therapy."

"A tour de force--this penetrating yet accessible book, written by
leaders in the field, is a must-read for practicing schema
therapists. The authors dig deep into the principles of
contemporary third wave therapies and return with innovative
advances to Jeffrey Young's original model. A core contribution is
the many helpful tools on how to conceptualize, build, and
reinforce healthy adult functioning. The reader is elegantly guided
along the complex journey that lies at the core of schema
therapy--finding a sensible balance between the potentially
competing needs of connection and autonomy."

of Schema Therapy, and director of the Swedish Cognitive Therapy
Institute, Stockholm--Poul Perris, MD
"Building on the foundation of schema therapy as laid by Jeffrey
Young, the authors bring schema therapy into the third wave of
therapies; in context and the actual effects. Acceptance and
commitment therapy (ACT) is interweaved throughout the book. It is
for example in the true spirit of schema therapy to take into
account different perspectives on the 'same' context."

of Schema Therapy and Mindfulness and Schema Therapy--Michiel van

"Schema therapy is the most integrative psychotherapy model of our
time, and has a rapidly accelerating literature. This latest volume
explains the entire schema therapy model, presupposing no prior
knowledge, then, pushes the model forward. It adds a new 'Case
Conceptualization Form, ' an expanded theoretical framework,
insights from 'third wave' and 'contextual' psychotherapies, and
new and innovative applications of schema therapy techniques
(particularly emotive techniques such as guided imagery and chair
work). It is scholarly, clear, theoretically grounded, and full of
clinical examples. Simply put, you will find this book extremely
useful--regardless of your theoretical orientation."
--Lawrence P. Riso, PhD, professor of clinical psychology, American
School of Professional Psychology, Northern Virginia--Lawrence P.
Riso, PhD
"Therapists today may find themselves asking how they can fit
together the plethora of psychological concepts that bombard them
from many directions. Schema therapists may ask whether schema
therapy by itself is enough, or whether they need other therapy
approaches too. The authors of Contextual Schema Therapy show how
important concepts that are well articulated within other
approaches--such as mentalization, mindfulness, acceptance,
metacognition, and human values--can be integrated into the basic
schema therapy model. Indeed, many of them are already implicit in
it. In addition to showing the integrative power of the schema
therapy model, this book offers a fresh and readable account of its
central ideas and rich clinical examples of their application, all
well-grounded in the current academic and clinical literature."

"This book encompasses all aspects of schema therapy, from the
theoretical underpinnings and case conceptualization to the
emotion-focused, cognitive and behavioral techniques. In a clear,
structured manner, practical suggestions are offered to cope with
the challenging situations therapists face in their clinical
practice. This book can be considered an essential element in the
training to become a schema therapist. I enjoyed the way complex
phenomena in therapy are explained with the use of metaphors and
striking illustrations. In a similar transparent way,
schema-triggering moments in session are discussed, and many
different strategies are offered to deal with them. This book
bridges the gap between theory and practice, and reflects the
current status of schema therapy."
--Remco van de Wijngaart, vice president of the International
Society of Schema Therapy; senior schema therapy trainer and
supervisor--Remco van de Wijngaart
"This cutting-edge guide provides a comprehensive road map for
understanding and implementing schema therapy as a truly
integrative and dynamic therapeutic model. The reader is taken on a
journey that interweaves conceptual underpinnings with cutting-edge
theoretical advances, contextualizing it within the framework of
second and third wave psychotherapy approaches. This book connects
the dots of the schema therapy model. Its descriptions bring the
powerful schema therapy techniques to life, while providing a clear
pathway to guide the overarching process. This book is an
indispensable text that will appeal to experienced clinicians, as
well as those who are simply curious to learn more about this
approach."
