Schema Therapy Egypt
Schema Therapy is one of the most innovative and impactful therapeutic approaches in modern psychology.
Originally developed to treat personality disorders, chronic depression, and complex relationship and family issues, it has since evolved to offer deep healing for a wide range of chronic psychological conditions — including addiction, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and beyond.
In recent years, self-help programs based on Schema Therapy have begun to flourish, making this powerful approach accessible not only to those struggling with mental health challenges, but to anyone on a journey of self-discovery and growth.
Schema Therapy Egypt was founded as a dedicated branch of the Egyptian Institution for Cognitive Therapies, with a clear mission and heartfelt purpose:
1. Supporting Mental Health Professionals
- Offering accredited training programs and workshops in collaboration with the International Society of Schema Therapy — aiming to grow a new generation of skilled therapists who can offer this life-changing approach in the Arab world.
- Providing clinical supervision (individual and group) in Arabic, to enhance professional competence and ensure therapeutic excellence.
- Publishing Arabic-language resources — including research papers, books, tools, and articles — to fill the current gap in accessible materials and empower therapists across the region.
2. Delivering Schema Therapy to Clients
The institution will provide individual and group psychotherapy based on Schema Therapy to clients struggling with personality disorders — including borderline, dependent, avoidant, and antisocial personality disorders.
We will also offer couples therapy using Schema Therapy to help partners understand and heal the deep emotional patterns shaping their relationship dynamics.
3. Raising Awareness and Empowering the Public
We are committed to spreading psychological awareness by offering step-by-step, Arabic-language self-help and psychoeducation programs grounded in Schema Therapy. These are designed for anyone who wants to understand themselves more deeply, even if they are not currently facing a clinical issue.
With humility and hope, we pray that this work may serve as both a source of knowledge and a path to healing…
May it be a light for those who need it most — and a contribution accepted in the service of others.
