I've read two of Young's books on Schema Therapy. I found the techniques used in Schema Therapy very interesting. When I left the east coast and moved west and needed to find a new therapist, I searched for someone trained in Schema therapy. I thought that since I was near a major university with a PhD clinical psych. program, a clinical MSW program and a professional mental health counselor program someone practicing in the community would be trained in the technique. No such luck! It seems that the university is majorly entrenched in CBT techniques and it was even a long search to find a therapist who wasn't pushing CBT. But it does seem like the techniques of Schema Therapy would be helpful to some.
