Description
Schema Therapy – A Phase-Oriented Approach, Targeting Tasks and Techniques in Individual and Group Schema Therapy presents an innovative approach to managing individual and group schema therapy.
The therapeutic process is divided into four phases:
Phase 1 focuses on safety and security
Phase 2 stirs up old pain and emotions
Phase 3 encourages the client to take control and try new things
Phase 4 is about reinventing oneself and learning to live happily as a human being
Each phase is covered in one chapter each. Every chapter contains phase-specific exercises and practical tips. The book is clearly structured allowing for the therapist and client to work together step by step. The book offers clear guidelines for achieving an optimal life balance.

This book has been really important for me and for my students trying to learn Schema Therapy. Rosi Reubsaet is a marvel of pedagogics. In my opinion no one has written so clearly and approachably about Schema Therapy for patients with borderline personality disorder, before. Her book has been a great help for me teaching unexperienced students about ST with these patients. The fase-based
approach is a great asset also for myself, though I have worked with borderline patients for many years, and in an ST-fashion since 2009.
I warmly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the art and craft of Schema Therapy with borderline disordered patients.
