In this groundbreaking work, three internationally recognized psychologists provide a comprehensive guide to the latest innovations in schema therapy (ST). This essential resource outlines a practical roadmap for implementing the schema mode model, enhancing clients' interpersonal functioning, and integrating recent advances in contextual behavioral psychology. ST is a robust, integrative treatment approach that combines cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic therapy elements, proving effective for various mental health challenges, particularly difficult-to-treat personality disorders. The core idea of ST is that mental health issues stem from unmet emotional needs during childhood, resulting in early maladaptive schemas (EMS). However, the focus has shifted towards schema content, emphasizing how clients relate to their experiences and others. This book incorporates recent findings in contextual behavioral science, concentrating on clients’ coping styles—or schema modes—and improving their interpersonal skills. It features exercises from compassion-focused therapies, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP), aiding clients in recognizing unhealthy coping patterns. Additionally, a variety of emotion-focused and experiential techniques are provided for effective therapeutic engagement.

Designed to meet the formidable challenges of treating personality disorders and other complex difficulties, schema therapy combines proven cognitive-behavioral techniques with elements of other widely practiced therapies. This book--written by the model's developer and two of its leading practitioners--is the first major text for clinicians wishing to learn and use this popular approach. Described are innovative ways to rapidly conceptualize challenging cases, explore the client's childhood history, identify and modify self-defeating patterns, use imagery and other experiential techniques in treatment, and maximize the power of the therapeutic relationship. Including detailed protocols for treating borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder, the book is illustrated with numerous clinical examples.

Few social historians had examined the popular religious beliefs of the 1500s at the time Thomas published Religion and the Decline of Magic in 1971. His analysis of how deeply held beliefs in witchcraft, spirits, and magic evolved during the Reformation remains one of the great works of post-war scholarship.

This biography of the life and career of the man who started the computer revolution provides insights into his early life and formative influences, his personality, his management style and business practices, and his rise to fame and fortune.

Personality disorders are among the most resistant clinical problems presented to therapists-and they are evident in the majority of private practice patients. This books discusses schema-focused therapy, an integrative approach developed by the author to treat characterological patients including borderline, narcissistic, avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, passive-agresssive, and histrionic personality disorders. In addition to presenting the rational, theory, and practical techniques of schema-focused therapy, this third edition includes an extended case example and revised editions of the Young Schema Questionnaire, Client's Guide, and schema listings.

In this book, Eshkol Rafaeli, David P. Bernstein and Jeffrey Young - pioneers of the Schema Therapy approach - indicate the 30 distinctive features of Schema Therapy, and how the method fits into the broader CBT spectrum.

Two of America's leading psychologists, Jeffrey E. Young, Ph.D., and Janet S. Klosko, Ph.D., show readers how to free themselves from negative life patterns. Written with compassion as well as clinical insight, this thought-provoking book guides readers through the process of identifying "life traps." For example, "Do you put the needs of others before your own? Are you drawn into relationships with people who are self-centered, cold to you, misunderstand you, or use you? Do you feel inadequate compared to people around you?" Followed by an engaging discussion that makes use of case studies, this book can help people change their lives by stopping the cycle of self-destruction.

iCon takes a look at the most astounding figure in a business era noted for its mavericks, oddballs, and iconoclasts. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Jeffrey Young and William Simon provide new perspectives on the legendary creation of Apple, detail Jobs’s meteoric rise, and the devastating plunge that left him not only out of Apple, but out of the computer-making business entirely. This unflinching and completely unauthorized portrait reveals both sides of Jobs’s role in the remarkable rise of the Pixar animation studio, also re-creates the acrimony between Jobs and Disney’s Michael Eisner, and examines Jobs’s dramatic his rise from the ashes with his recapture of Apple. The authors examine the takeover and Jobs’s reinvention of the company with the popular iMac and his transformation of the industry with the revolutionary iPod. iCon is must reading for anyone who wants to understand how the modern digital age has been formed, shaped, and refined by the most influential figure of the age–a master of three movies, music, and computers.

Cisco Systems gilt als eine der erfolgreichsten Firmen, die das Silicon Valley jemals hervorgebracht hat. Kein Wunder, hat doch Cisco v. a. in Sachen Internet einige der wichtigsten Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre geprägt. Ähnlich wie Intel und Microsoft die Entwicklung der PCs vorangetrieben haben, ist Cisco bei der Entwicklung des Internet nicht mehr wegzudenken. Mit Computern und Netzwerklösungen, die – als eine Art Verkehrspolizei der Datenautobahn – Informationen verwalten, hat Cisco einen stolzen Marktanteil von 85% bei den Routern, die das grösste Netzwerk überhaupt am laufen halten – dem Internet. Das Resultat: Der Wert der Firma Cisco ist in den letzten 5 Jahren um unglaubliche 2000 % gestiegen – eine Wertsteigerung, die doppelt so hoch ist wie beispielsweise die von Microsoft im gleichen Zeitraum. Angefangen hat alles mit zwei Schulfreunden an der Stanford University, die die Firma vor fünfzehn Jahren gegründet haben. Und was nun folgte ist eine Geschichte, die alles enthält, was einen grossen Film oder einen Roman ausmacht: Liebe, Geld, ein oder zwei Leute mit krimineller Energie, geniale Coups und den süssen Geschmack des Sieges. Trotz einer Zeit ständiger Kämpfe und Führungswechsel hat es Cisco geschafft, keine einzige wichtige Entwicklung im Kerngeschäft zu verschlafen. Konkurrenten wie 3Com oder IBM wurden von Cisco mit Innovation, Kundennnähe und den meisten Firmenkäufen der Geschichte ständig übertrumpft.
