Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Breaking Negative Relationship Patterns explores Schema Therapy (ST), a method designed for treating complex disorders, especially personality disorders, which often affect relationships. The book presents a comprehensive ST-based model to understand personal challenges and offers couple-specific adaptations like limited reparenting, imagery re-scripting, and behavioural pattern breaking. It serves both as a practical resource for therapists and a self-help guide for couples aiming to improve their relationships by addressing past influences and current difficulties.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Schema Therapy (ST) was developed to treat patients with complex disorders, especially personality disorders, with a powerful new set of interventions. Personality disorders, as well as more general problems stemming from early experience and addressed by schema therapy, are a key factor in many disturbed relationships. As a result, ST is now increasingly used for couples work. By dealing effectively with the past, ST offers a unique way to approach and address present difficulties in relationships. Couples who understand their individual patterns of thinking and behaviour tend to find that their relationships make much more sense.

Breaking Negative Relationship Patterns is a readable, practical resource containing a wealth of self-help exercises that schema therapists can recommend or give to their patients. It is the ideal resource for couples undergoing schema therapy and can also serve as an accessible self-help guide for those experiencing relationship difficulties. The authors offer a complete ST-based model for understanding complex personal problems, along with couple-specific adaptations of core ST interventions such as limited reparenting, imagery re-scripting, and behavioural pattern breaking.
