The go-to guide for dealing with the narcissist in your life-now
fully revised and updated based on reader feedback! Do you know
someone who is overly arrogant, shows an extreme lack of empathy,

and gain the respect and validation you deserve-while side-stepping
unproductive power struggles and senseless arguments with someone
who is at the centre of his or her own universe. Finally, you'll

In this groundbreaking book, three internationally recognized
psychologists present a step-by-step guide outlining the most
up-to-date innovations in schema therapy (ST). This important book
offers a clear and practical road map for putting the schema mode
model into practice, improving clients' interpersonal functioning,
and integrates the latest advances in contextual behavioral
psychology. ST is a powerful, integrative treatment model that
combines aspects of cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic
therapies. It has proven highly effective in treating a number of
mental health issues, including difficult-to-treat personality
disorders. ST's main premise is that mental health issues arise as
a result of unmet emotional needs in childhood, leading to the
development of early maladaptive schemas (EMS). But, more and more,
ST has shifted away from EMS to focus on schema content-that is,
changing the way clients relate to their experiences and to others.
This book incorporates the latest findings in contextual behavioral
science with a focus on clients' coping styles - or schema modes -
and improving interpersonal functioning. The book includes
exercises from compassion-focused therapies, acceptance and
commitment therapy (ACT), and even functional analytic
psychotherapy (FAP) to help your clients become more aware of their
own unhealthy coping patterns and behaviors. You'll also discover a
range of emotion-focused and experiential techniques to use in
therapy with your client.
