In language that is clear and accessible, this book explains how the 'building blocks' of Schema Therapy, a relatively new approach, can be used by everyone to answer the question: "Who do you think you are?" It demonstrates the basic principles and practices of Schema Therapy and how readers can use the core ingredients of this model to understand themselves and to improve the quality of their lives and relationships. Who Do You Think You Are? is a timely book that aligns with current 'multiplicity' views of personality which is the idea that we are made up of many dynamic and interacting parts. We all have core emotional needs and personal sensitivities, or 'hot buttons'. We also have characteristic ways of coping and unique attachments. This multidimensional framework reflects the wonderful complexity of our human nature and our daily lives and struggles. The secret to healthy and harmonious living lies in self-knowledge, so learning to understand ourselves through the lens of Schema Therapy can make the prospect of initiating positive changes less daunting. It can also help us to view ourselves and the people in our lives with greater compassion and acceptance. General readers will learn from this book and apply that understanding in their own lives as parents, partners, friends and neighbours. Health professionals will use this book to enhance their knowledge and skills. This is more than a self-help book. This is a "help yourself" book and an opportunity to help yourself to whatever resonates with you and your own personal experiences. As we deal with people every day in our personal or professional lives there is something here for everyone.
