“My impression is that this would be great as the main reference for a specialist training workshop.”  (Clinical Psychologist, 13 November 2013“This helpful book provides a step-by-step approach to learning group schema therapy. Written by experts in the field, it is easy to read and the shaded boxes provide wonderful information. The book should be in the libraries of therapists who deal with individuals diagnosed with personality disorders and/or have suicidal/self-injurious behaviors.”  (Doody’s, 1 February 2013)
