   I like the fact that, as someone who just wants to learn more about herself, this book still works fantastic and so appealing for me to learn more about myself in both patients and practitioners perspective. And it is a great add on to the book Reinventing Your Life.

   Like any worthwhile book, this is one that requires a little extra thought. But, it is rewarding if you have questions about therapy, and why it's sometimes a fleeting target to capture.

   Best ID of my problems ever and best solutions. I feel it is the best therapy out there presently and that there should be a lot more research regarding its effectiveness. Europe has already done studies touting its success in comparison to other therapies.

   This is THE manual to refer to for schema therapy. Schema therapy is extremely effective for long-standing dysfunctional patterns, personality problems and maker deeper, longer lasting change. If you want to do schema therapy, I would also highly recommend an introductory 2 day workshop through the Schema Therapy Institute. There is also a certification program - but if you really just want a flavor of the entire model, go for the intro.
   
   The book gives excellent case studies, great experiential exercises and thorough but understandable explanations of technique.

   While it is a therapy manual, I found it to be by far, the best book on the subject as I was able to understand, and agree with most everything in it as I interact with several people that perfectly exhibit such patterns. And while most common theories mash a bunch of random ideas together, this really ties it altogether into a clear and neat little package that makes a ton more sense.
   
   In terms of understanding other people, it really helps to see them in a much higher, compassionate viewpoint, and prevents burnout, which is so common a problem. Heck, it even shows that subjectivity over objectivity is extremely valuable.
   
   While it is written to help those that do not necessarily fit neatly into society perfectly, it actually helps to really recognize and eliminate life traps in a much bigger population (e.g. you), and perhaps most importantly, to see peoples problems as a strong need/call for help--and not malicious, selfish, manipulative actions.
   
   Lots of people are unnecessarily suffering from various social disorders (e.g. BPD, EDD, and CPSTD), and I am surprised more professionals have not heard of this theoretical approach as it makes much more intuitive and structural sense, and besides, a handful of studies show its the best treatment method by far, esp in a group setting.
   
   I really hope this goes viral in the health community and its main ideas reach mainstream public.

   This book is well written and not difficult to follow. I think anyone could get a lot out of it , not necessarily just a therapist. It explains how people get stuck in behavior patterns, and what to do about it. A good read for everyone who would like a little more self-understanding! (I am not a therapist)

   ...and my head shrink said it worked. Remember the opera singer that went up against bugs bunny, and he sprayed alum on his adenoids, and he sang Figaro Figaro and his head shrunk?
   That's how good this worked.
   
   It's written from a clinical viewpoint, it ain't pop psychology, so unless you are really comprehensive-like in your reading ability, you might want to pass, but I liked it, because I'm really smart for my age.

   This is a wonderful book. I've been in practice for 30+ years. While I have used most of the approaches for a long time, this book has put together
   strands from many areas of knowledge and practice. It integrates theory and practice, relates directly to therapists' issues, provides useful
   case examples, AND is a fascinating read. Well worth the cost and the 400 page read. I am amazed at how much clarity and progress it has
   brought to my practice.

   As a therapist (and certified avdanced Schema Therapist), I have found this book to be an indispensable and in-depth guide to learning about and practicing schema therapy. Explanations about schemas and modes are detailed and comprehensive and therapist-patient dialogs are thorough and riveting. I would highly recommend this work to any therapist interested in bridging cognitive therapy with experiential and psychodynamic approaches in a profoundly original way that has benefitted scores of patients I've worked with over the years.

   The book has outlined the help you need to deal with these schemas. Has examples of schema cards. Very good book. Its a add on to ReInventing you life. Could help a lot in conjunction with counselling. Fills you in on all the schemas and ways that some people fought the schema along with help from psychologists. I feel these schemas need professional help to overcome, but this book prepares you for what you are up against and informs you of how a psychologist would go about helping you.

   I bought this after seeing Jeff Young's introductory workshop on Schematherapy (I'm a psychologist). The book added depth to what I learned in his excellent workshop and enabled me to begin implementing Young's techniques. This approach has empirical evidence demonstrating its effectiveness with people who have Borderline Personality Disorder. I strongly recommend the book (and Young's workshop) to mental health professionals who are working with this population.
