Description
Schema Therapy with Children and Adolescents: A Practitioner's Guide offers a comprehensive approach to adapting this therapeutic technique for young people. Written by its developers, the authors provide innovative child- and parent-specific techniques to support therapists in working with children and adolescents across five key developmental stages.
The book focuses on 'schema coaching', encouraging parents and carers to consider how their own thoughts, behaviours, and responses may contribute to a young person's issues. It presents detailed guidance on applying these techniques, including imaginative use of play to reinforce or replace imagery rescripting, and the introduction of a healthy Wise Child mode.
By helping therapists understand how to enact age-appropriate schema dialogues, this guide enables them to support young people in putting difficult events behind them and choosing new, healthier ways forward. With case studies and practical guidance, Schema Therapy with Children and Adolescents is an essential resource for anyone working with children and adolescents.
