Leahy (psychology, Weill Cornell Medical College) et al. offer a guide for therapists showing how to help patients learn to cope with feared or avoided emotional experiences. Organizing the options around Leahy's emotional schema therapy model, they integrate each chapter into an emotional schema conceptualization, identifying such intervention options as stress management, acceptance, mindfulness, self-compassion, cognitive restructuring, dialectical behavior therapy, compassion-focused therapy, emotional processing and intelligence, and other techniques, and ways to choose between techniques for specific patients or situations. Examples, homework suggestions, discussion of possible problems, and reproducible handouts are included. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
