Training accredited by the International Society of Schema Therapy ISST Schema Therapy is a system of psychotherapy that is suitable for patients with chronic and mild psychological disorders; numerous studies have shown that it is also effective for patients with psychological disorders that have shown resistance to other forms of therapy, especially Personality Disorders. Schema Therapy integrates aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychoanalysis, Constructivism, Gestalt Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and Attachment Therapy, presenting an extremely clear and effective explanatory model of the disorder.

Problems are tackled on an emotional, cognitive and behavioural level, with the application of numerous techniques from different therapies. With the help of numerous imaginative, emotional, cognitive and behavioural techniques, the therapist teaches the patient how to ref- ence the model of the healthy adult and to give it more space in order to find adaptive ways of satisfying his or her deepest needs.
