Jeffrey E. Young

I knew a fair bit about schema and schema therapy but I hadn't actually read this foundational book.

Schema therapy is a great advance on CBT. I've tried CBT at times throughout my life, but I got nowhere until Jeffrey Young's iteration made it into an actual therapy.

I liked it. It did have me marveling that anyone in this world is sane. So many problems, resulting from both nature and nurture, it's amazing how human beings function. It also provides a sturdy foundation for upcoming generational problems that the Western culture will face as a result of our living style.

In short it didn’t work for me, but interesting material with a psychological angle behind it.

A useful book for recovering alcoholics and addicts. Whatv makes us who we are, whattriggers certain behaviors, what to look out for.
