Schema Therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Jeffrey Young and his collaborators in the late 1990s. This effective model based on rigorous scientific evidence was created to help patients who have different personality disorders and the ones who are refractory to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Dr. Young realized that these patients had Early Maladaptive Schemas, Dysfunctional Modes and Dysfunctional Coping Modes that interfered with their lives and clinical progress. Often times these individuals did prior therapies (usually based on other clinical models) and felt these therapies had “stalled” causing them dissatisfaction, frustration and feelings of hopelessness.

What is Schema Therapy?
In addition to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Schema Therapy also integrates elements from many other psychological schools such as: Attachment Theory, Gestalt, Object Relations Theory, Compassion Focused Therapy, Constructivism, Psychoanalysis, Mindfulness, Emotion Focused Therapy, EMDR, Somatic Therapies and Hypnotherapy. But this integration of clinical strategies is always based on a clear, precise and individualized conceptualization of each patient. Research has demonstrated the usefulness of Schema Therapy in the treatment of patients with various Personality Disorders (e.g., Borderline Personality Disorder) and with chronic pathologies that do not remit with other therapies. These include substance abuse, social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders and severe difficulties in establishing and/or maintaining couple, work and friendship relationships.
