TrainingSchema Therapy

for Children and Adolescents (ST-CA)

FLORENCE 2016-2017

Schema Therapy (ST), developed by Jeffrey Young is an en-hancement and development of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which particularly integrates emotions but also develop-mental aspects, centrally in diagnostic and therapeutic consider-ations. In addition, ST is based on a model of schemas, modes and basic needs and “their fate” during the course of life. There-fore, ST - in terms of a technical and strategic variant of CBT – seems to also be, and especially in the field of child and ado-lescent therapy, particularly suited to generating action-guiding, diagnostic and therapeutic concepts.

In total, 5 workshop units (WS 1-5) of the “Children’s Curricu-lum”, first the schema therapeutic conceptual model (schemas, modes, coping strategies), the underlying theory (central impor-tance core needs in the context of developmental tasks), possi-ble diagnostic means (eg, projective methods) and requirements in the therapeutic attitude (eg, concept of “limited reparenting” and “empathic confrontation”) are outlined, on the basis of tem-perament and personality factors in childhood and adolescence. However there are, in the center of the workshop series, training and practice units which encompass schema therapeutic strat-egies that have proven successful in the cognitive behavioral therapy of childhood and adolescence. Another focus is laid on the teaching of advanced and deepened work with parents in terms of “Schema Coaching for Parents” that includes schema or mode specific transactional processes between child and par-ent and shed a light on the mutual reinforcement processes of child’s und parent’s maladaptive schemas and modes.

Beside the features of schema theory, the workshops offer many practical demonstrations through picture and video material or life demonstrations, and small exercises allow the participants to transfer the content into their own practice

TrainingSchema Therapy for Children and Adolescents(ST-CA)

Training ST-CA - Workshop 1 “INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP”

The introductory workshop (WS 1) illustrates the formation and perpetuating model of maladaptive schemas against the background of age-specific de-velopmental tasks, risk and protective temperamental factors. Relative to the children’s age, early maladaptive schemas described by Young are outlined with their typical child and adolescent appearance and coping strategies. Other topics include the multimodal diagnostic techniques (use of explora-tion, survey, imagery, case conceptualization) and explain the significance of the therapeutic relationship, psychoeducation and empathic confrontation.

As an overview, therapeutic strategies are demonstrated: Working with draw-ings and pictures, mode-based play therapy, working with stories, finger and hand puppets, metaphors, chair work, imagery, visual presentation of the “Inner House”, and the use of flash cards. An important part of ST-CA is the work with parents which is also outlined in an overview. Video examples or life demonstrations and role-play in groups of two or three participants en-sure the consolidation and deepening of three exercises:

• Imagery Parent Interview• Creating a Mode Sketch • Conducting a Mode Interview

Training ST-CA - Workshop 2Focus: ST for Children

This workshop builds upon the content of the intro-ductory workshop (WS 1), participation in which is a prerequisite for the subsequent immersion workshops (WS 2 to 5). The goal of this workshop is to learn the techniques of schema therapy with children specifically. After a brief connection with the schema theoretical in-troduction and sharing of some experiences in practice (WS 1), the focus will be laid on the features of the par-ticular therapeutic relationship, including the concepts of limited reparenting, empathic confrontation and prac-tical working with the special schema therapeutic tech-niques.

Video, life demonstration and/or role-play in groups of two or three partic-ipants ensure the consolidation and deepening of what has been learnt. In particular, the content and methods are:

• Working with (stem) stories (with exercise)• Working with finger and hand puppets• Working with chair dialogues (3-Chair dialogue: “Mode driving license”)• Use of visual and audio flash cards

Training ST-CA - Workshop 3Focus: ST for Adolescents

This workshop (ST-CA: Focus Adolescents) builds upon the content of the WS 1 (ST-CA: Introductory workshop) and WS 2 (ST-CA: Focus Children). Participation in WS 1 and 2 is a prerequisite for the following immersion workshops WS 3 to 5.

Video and picture material, life demonstrations, and/or role-play in groups of two or three participants ensure the consolidation and deepening of what has been learnt. In particular, the content and methods are:

• Working with mode cards (Mode walk: Feel, Talk, & Walk)• Working with chair dialogues (2-Chair dialogue: Focus Critic/Punisher)• Creating a Schema- or Mode-Rap • Imagery (Fantasy Trip to the Clever & Wise Mode)

Training ST-CA - Workshop 4Focus ST for Parents: “Schema Coaching for Parents”

This workshop builds upon the content of the introductory workshop (WS 1), participation in which is a prerequisite for the immersion workshops (WS 2 to 5). The goal of this workshop is to learn the techniques of schema therapy specifically with parents. After a brief connection with the theory of WS 1, the focus will be laid on the features of the work with parents, including practical exercises.

Schema Coaching for Parents includes psychoed-ucation, work with chairs, mode flash card, internal dialogue and imagery. In particular, the content and methods are:

• Therapeutic relationship with parents: “Limited Grandparenting”• Education of the schema and mode concept • Collusion of schemas and modes among the therapist and the patient

(child/parents)• Schema Genogramm • Working with chair dialogues (2-Chair dialogues: Focus Detached Protector)• Imagery (Visualizing Caring Parental Modes)• Imagery Rescripting

Training ST-CA - Workshop 5Focus: Schema Therapeutic Case Conceptualization and Play Therapy

This workshop builds upon the contents of the first four workshops (WS 1-4), participation in which is useful but not a prerequisite. The goal of this workshop is to apply the schematic therapeutic approaches to their own cases. After the case presentation in the plenary, participants work out in small groups, the schema therapeutic case concept and treatment plan of this patient and their family. Based on already implemented schematic ther-apeutic treatment, techniques progress and problems in the used interven-tions are discussed. In the last unit participants will learn, how to work with the “Inner House”, and to follow the schema therapeutic approaches in the context of Play Therapy (preschool and primary school age). The following content will be covered in the workshop:

• Illustration of the basic approach to case conceptualization• Conceptualization and treatment planning for their own cases• Working on the “Inner House”• Mode-oriented play therapy• Special problems in the therapy

Video and picture material, life demon-strations, and/or role-play in groups of two or three participants ensure the consolidation and deepen-ing of what has been learnt.
