As the founder of Schema Therapy, I am excited  to see the paradigm expanded into new territories.  This is the first book to explore how Schema Therapy can be applied - both theoretically and clinically - to working with individuals experiencing psychosis and bipolar conditions. Given the complexity of such presentations, it is clear that modifications of our therapeutic techniques are needed. This book fully demonstrates these through detailed case studies. What sets this book apart is the authors' ability to bridge theory and practice seamlessly. Rhodes and Vorontsova have not only added a vital chapter to the schema therapy approach, but have also opened doors to a more compassionate and effective treatment for individuals facing the challenges of psychosis and bipolarity.
