Lastly, clients face the barriers standing between them and values-based behavior in their relationships. By learning to "defuse" from schema-influenced thinking, clients can eventually overcome the patterns of avoidance that hold them back.    Appendix I of the book examines the research design and treatment outcome data for this protocol. Appendix II offers a complete acceptance and commitment therapy for interpersonal disorders group protocol"--
