Advance your skills with Schema Therapy, a current CPD learning platform for New Zealand psychologists treating complex mental health…
Schema Therapy is a promising form of psychotherapy that can be used for various mental health conditions that are notoriously difficult to treat - from eating disorders to substance abuse to personality disorders, the research outcomes demonstrate a highly effective approach. Jeffrey Young developed Schema Therapy as an integration of various forms of psychotherapy including CBT, psychodynamic approaches and emotion-focused therapies to best assist people with recurring patterns of emotional difficulties. The treatment includes active, creative and powerful interventions such as chair-work and guided imagery in addressing old underlying and damaging narratives that people carry. Clinical psychologists Sarit Swisa and Alexa Young are offering online schema therapy groups and can be contacted for further details.
