Description
About the Author
Rainer Sachse, PhD, is Head of the Institute for Psychological Psychotherapy (IPP) in Bochum, Germany. He studied psychology from 1969 to 1978 at the Ruhr University of Bochum, Germany, and went on to gain his doctorate in psychology and a postdoctoral qualification for a full professorship, and later becoming a professor of clinical psychology and psychotherapy. At the end of the 1990s, Prof. Sachse developed a dual action theory of personality disorder which led to the creation of clarification-oriented psychotherapy, a therapy approach which he continues to use and develop today. His main areas of interest are personality disorders, psychosomatics, clarification-oriented psychotherapy, and behavioral therapy, and he has written extensively about these themes.
Reviews
This is a very well-structured, informative, and readily accessible book that provides unique and valuable guidelines for therapists treating those with personality disorders, with a clarification- and schema-focused approach. Given the integration of empirical studies with detailed clinical descriptions of each disorder, this is a useful and inspiring resource, and it is to be hoped that this book can be made available to therapists and clinicians in many countries.;Elsa Ronningstam, PhD, Harvard Medical School, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA
