This book presents innovative tools for helping patients to understand their emotional schemas-such as the conviction that painful feelings are unbearable shameful or will last indefinitely-and develop new ways of accepting and coping with affective experience. Therapists can integrate emotional schema therapy into the treatment approaches they already use to add a vital new dimension to their work. Rich case material illustrates applications for a wide range of clinical problems; assessment guidelines and sample worksheets and forms further enhance the book's utility.|Emotional Schema Therapy | Psychology
