This workshop provides an introduction to early maladaptive schemas, how they maintain problematic behaviours and techniques for changing them. Learning outcomes include:

  • Review current state of evidence on schema focused therapy including research conducted by Chris Lee

  • Learn how to assess the key developmental tasks of childhood, and how these affect schema development

  • Learn a range of ways to assess problematic schemas and practice these in small group exercises

  • Explore the methods by which clients subtly maintain their self defeating schemas

  • Learn how to challenge client’s schema maintaining strategies

  • Practice emotive, interpersonal, cognitive and behavioural interventions designed to regulate emotions

  • Learn experiential interventions to highlight the link between current emotions and earlier learning

  • Develop practical strategies to consolidate emerging beliefs which are more adaptive

  • Receive extensive background notes and client handouts
