Schema Therapy for Memory Reconsolidation and Transformational Change

Schema Therapy for Memory Reconsolidation and Transformational Change offers psychotherapists a model for clearly and coherently conceptualizing human complexity in a transparent, accessible form.The book explores the pivotal concept of schemas, which are the emotional memories built up through our life experiences that largely determine our view of the world and the way we react and adapt to it. Schema therapy focuses on certain early schemas that have become maladaptive. It has always done so with openness, integrating techniques from a variety of psychotherapeutic orientations.The book presents schemas in their predictive function and looks at the possibility of updating these predictions based on advances in neuroscience that clarify the conditions necessary for therapeutic reconsolidation of memory.
