Schema therapy (ST) is an integrative approach that brings together cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment and object relations theories. It was created by by Jeff Young in 1990 and has been developed and updated in several ways since then. Schema therapy is considered an effective way of conceptualizing and treating a wide range of adult emotional issues include personality difficulties. Some of the distinguishing features of schema therapy.<ul><li>more emphasis upon the development of current issues in childhood.</li><li>more emphasis on the power of the therapist–client relationship </li><li>more emphasis on understanding their clients&#x27; core emotional needs and how to meet those those needs adaptively in relationships.</li><li>more emphasis on processing memories of negative childhood experiences, making use of experiential techniques to change related negative emotions.</li></ul>I﻿n this introductory workshop we will look at the practical frameworks and techniques that are used in Schema Therapy and how they can be used with a wider range of clients. K﻿ey Ideas of Schema Therapy covered in the course18 early maladaptive schemas are usually recognised in ST which can be assessed using the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ). T﻿hese include:<ul><li>Emotional Deprivation</li><li>Abandonment</li><li>Mistrust/Abuse</li><li>Defectiveness</li></ul>W﻿ithin the framework is the idea that there are 5 types of unmet needs which are often at the centre of adult distress in relationships, work and personal development. <ol><li>Disconnection/Rejection </li><li>Impaired Autonomy and/or Performance </li><li>Impaired Limits</li><li>Other-Directedness</li><li>Overvigilance/Inhibition</li></ol>I﻿n Schema Therapy these early maladaptive schemas are seen as producing unhelpful emotional and cognitive patterns established in childhood and repeated in adult life particularly in relationships. The more embeddedthe schema, the more distressing is the the negative emotion when the schema is activated in adulthood. Some schemas are domai-specific whereas others are triggered by a wide range of scenarios of stress, conflict and change. A﻿dults&#x27; relationships with their own parents in later life is also an area which can be helpfully viewed through the Schema Therapy framework.
