Behavioral schema therapy
Schema therapy is an integrative therapy approach and theoretical framework used to treat clients with personality disorders, characterological issues, some chronic Axis I diagnoses, and various other difficult individual and couples' problems.
Schema Therapy combines proven cognitive behavioral therapy techniques with elements of interpersonal, experiential, and psychodynamic therapies in order to help people with long-term mental health problems including personality disorders and chronic depression. Schema Therapy suggests that many negative cognitive conditions are based on past experiences, and therefore provides models for challenging and modifying negative thoughts and behaviors in order to provoke change.
