pour les spécialistes des schémas cognitifs je dis oui… pour les autres ça sera moins évident en raison du jargon spécifique. ce livre est également en anglais
Excellent resource for CBT therapists working either clients with personality disorder diagnoses. I refer to it often in my practice!
I liked the smooth repetitive sequence used to explain the numerous personality disorders . I came away with a better feeling for their origins and more compassion for those suffering. Beck is a master.
