Do you have clients who struggle to meet their own needs or excessively focus on the approval of others?
Schema Therapy provides an integrative model that is especially helpful for clients who demonstrate entrenched, long-standing, unhelpful interpersonal beliefs and/or behaviours. Any person who is wishing to break free from painful habitual patterns of interacting will benefit from considering the 18 early maladaptive schemas developed by Jeffrey Young in Schema Therapy.
Schema Therapy describes 5 main schema domains.
The following handout concerns the schema domain of Other-Directedness. The 3 early maladaptive schemas covered are:
- Subjugation
- Self-Sacrifice
- Approval/Recognition Seeking
Each schema will be briefly outlined with possible treatment objectives. In addition, common coping strategies for each schema will be highlighted, including behaviours of surrender, avoidance and overcompensation.
This product consists of 1 x full-colour A4 Notepad (with 25 sheets).
