Abstract
After shortly introducing Schema Therapy, elucidating its origins and pillars, we will talk about Schema’s (what is a Schema and how does originate) and Modes (how an individual “copes” with an activated Schema and its consequences on patient’s behavior).
Further, we will look at a Clinical Case and will use it to elucidate how Schema Therapy principles have been applied to help the Patient solve its problems. This will be done by using a Case Conceptualization, illustrating how this can be seen as a key element for successful treatment. We will also look at how the therapist’s personal schema’s and modes can be activated during treatment, how to become aware of it and correct it for more effective collaboration.
We will describe Patient’s life problems, looking at early childhood origins, core unmet needs, specific schema’s and modes, trigger events with an example, observations and problems during therapy and how these have been challenged and solved.
