Schema therapy (ST) is an integrative approach incorporating components of experiential and Gestalt treatments, attachment and object relations theories, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Since its introduction by Jeff Young in 1990, it has undergone development and improvement. One thought-to be useful method for understanding and treating personality problems is schema therapy. Jacob and Arntz (2013) and Rafaeli, Bernstein, and Young (2011) outline a few of the unique characteristics of schema therapy. Compared to conventional CBT, ST emphasizes the evolution of present symptoms more. ST places a strong emphasis on the therapeutic alliance and its capacity to have a corrective effect. The goal of ST is to teach patients how to recognize and address their basic emotional needs in an appropriate manner. Using experiential strategies to alter negative emotions associated with traumatic childhood experiences, ST focuses a great deal on processing memories of these experiences.
