Module 1: Fundamentals of Schema Therapy
Module 1 focuses on building a strong foundation in schema therapy through comprehensive assessment, formulation, and therapeutic practice. Trainees learn to assess schemas and modes using psychometrics, imagery, and self-reflection, and to develop transdiagnostic case formulations with a particular emphasis on borderline personality disorder. Core relational principles such as limited reparenting, empathic confrontation, boundary setting, and awareness of therapist schemas are central, alongside exploration of schema chemistry between client and therapist. The module emphasizes experiential change techniques, including imagery rescripting, chair work, role play, cognitive strategies, body-focused interventions, and behavioural pattern breaking, all aimed at strengthening the healthy adult mode. Homework is integrated to consolidate in-session work and promote change beyond therapy sessions.
Module 2: Working with Complex Presentations
Module 2 extends schema therapy to more complex and specialized presentations, focusing on adaptation and clinical flexibility. It covers formulation and treatment of narcissistic presentations and Cluster C personality disorders, as well as forensic populations. Emphasis is placed on tailoring schema, imagery, chair, cognitive, and body-focused techniques to address resistance, avoidance, anger, guilt-inducing critics, and other more complex and challenging presentations. It also encourages trainees to reflect on the potential for their own schemas and modes to be acitvated when working with clients.
