SCHEMA THERAPY

SCHEMA THERAPY

Schema therapy is an innovative therapy developed by Dr Jeffrey Young for treating personality disorders. Schema therapy helps to understand the origins underlying certain patterns of behaviour and hence to change the behaviours in question. By examining the influence of childhood experiences on the client’s day-to-day life, it teaches the client to change himself or herself so that he or she feels better, is better able to take care of himself or herself, and is more assertive.
