Child-Adolescent Schema Therapy Certification

The ISST  Executive Board has approved a separate certification in Child-Adolescent Schema Therapy based upon the recommendations of a work group of experts in this area. They are listed here: Christof Loose, Peter Graaf, Gerhard Zarbock and Petra Baumann-Frankenberger from Germany, Maria Galimzyanova, Paul Kasyanik and Elena Romanova from Russia, Ida Shaw from the US. 

Now we have a new Committee for Children and Adolescents (CAC). Please find below the list of selected members for the CAC.

Chairperson: Christof Loose

Members: Diana Teodorescu from Romania, Estelle Valerie Macdonald from New Zealand, Gal Geffen from Israel, Katerina Aggeli from Greece, Maria Galimzyanova and Paul Kasyanik from Russia, Janine Peckham of Germany/Australia and Nicole Haubitz from Germany.

The approved curriculum and requirements can be found in the attachments below. The same academic and licensing requirements of the ISST for individual ST certification apply to applicants for any of the specialty area certifications including ST-CA.

Applications for ST-CA Certification first go to the Certification Committee Chair:  Christof Loose and after review and referral to the full committee as needed they are sent to the Certification Coordinator of the ISST Executive Board for approval. Applications must be submitted in English.  If you need help with translation contact the certification reviewer for your country listed on the individual ST certification page of this website.
