Love me, don't leave me : overcoming fear of abandonment & building lasting, loving relationships
\"Everyone thrives on love, comfort, and the safety of family, friends, and community. But if you are denied these basic comforts early in life, whether through a lack of physical affection or emotional bonding, you may develop intense fears of abandonment that can last well into adulthood-fears so powerful that they can actually cause you to push people away. If you suffer from fears of abandonment, you may have underlying feelings of anger, shame, fear, anxiety, depression, and grief. These emotions are intense and painful, and when they surface they can lead to a number of negative behaviors, such as jealousy, clinging, and emotional blackmail. In Love Me, Don't Leave Me, therapist Michelle Skeen combines acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), schema therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to help you identify the root of your fears. In this book you'll learn how schema coping behaviors-deeply entrenched and automatic behaviors rooted in childhood experiences and fears-can take over and cause you to inadvertently sabotage your relationships. By recognizing these coping behaviors and understanding their cause, you will not only gain powerful insights into your own mind, but also into the minds of those around you. If you are ready to break the self-fulfilling cycle of mistrust, clinginess, and heartbreak and start building lasting, trusting relationships, this book will be your guide\"-- Provided by publisher.

A schema-focused analysis of Philip Carey in W. Somerset Maugham's “Of Human Bondage”
This is a case study using Jeffrey Young's schema-focused theory to analyze Philip Carey, an autobiographical literary character in W. Somerset Maugham's Of Human Bondage. The novel provides the reader with a fixed set of data and a rich life history that begins with the death of Philip's mother at which time he is left as a club-footed orphan at the age of nine. Maugham's narrative takes us through Philip's early childhood, adolescence, and adulthood until the age of thirty. Creating a dialogue between Young's theory and Maugham' s character offers a useful therapeutic model in that schema-focused theory is particularly interested in the origins of maladaptive schemas, which develop early in life as the result of unmet core needs. Early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) are enduring life themes and patterns that have a negative impact on how one experiences his environment and relationships. Maugham's novel provides us with an opportunity to elucidate schema-focused therapy through the process of identifying Philip's temperament, his early maladaptive schemas, his long-term maladaptive coping styles, and his schema modes. Furthermore, it will allow for the examination of the role that Philip's EMSs play in his partner choices.
