Dr. Leahy presents his latest thinking on his emotional schema theory, a novel and integrated approach to conceptualising and dealing with emotions in therapy. The impact of metacognitive, compassion and cognitive theories is evident in Dr. Leahy’s discourse as he sets out new avenues for conceptualisation, research and treatment of the complex emotional life.
