`Several of the most painful petards upon which people become
hoisted during an unhappy childhood are neatly dispatched here by
two cognitive therapists, who attack 11 common `lifetraps’ —
destructive patterns that underlie a variety of emotional problems.
Young and Klosko ably demonstrate how to deal with issues of
abandonment, dependence, trust, social rejection, emotional
deprivation, failure and vulnerability. They provide meaningful
case histories, perceptive descriptions, diagnostic tests and a
variety of nugget-sized, easily understood lists detailing the
causes, danger signs and effects of negative impulses and actions,
as well as ways to short-circuit them.’ —Publishers Weekly
`Using illustrations from case studies, the authors describe each
lifetrap, discuss its origins in childhood experience, and provide
a questionnaire for self-assessment. They then offer a program for
change using techniques ranging from experiential (getting in touch
with your inner child) to cognitive (writing a `case’ against your
lifetrap) and behavioural (identifying specific behaviours to be
changed).’—Library Journal
