Review Quotes: "Building on the foundation of schema therapy as laid by Jeffrey Young, the authors bring schema therapy into the third wave of therapies; in context and the actual effects. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is interweaved throughout the book. It is for example in the true spirit of schema therapy to take into account different perspectives on the 'same' context."
