"the development of a 'healthy adult mode' in schema therapy with young adults, age 18-25 years"WORKSHOP by natalie van oort & WilleMiEn van der mark 
AIMS:
Participants will experience our approach of SchemaGrouptherapy for young adults (18-25 years) Young adults with personality disorders strive very hard to develop a Healthy Adult mode, but seem to be stuck in Childmodes. Many of them lack a positive parental identification figure and they often relate towards peers in an unhealthy manner. SGP with peers and therapists who can offer a positive role model in a safe environment enables patients to develop a healthy young adult mode of their own.
SUMMARY:
The benefits of SGP for young adults are explained and illustrated by clinical case examples. We will outline the phases in SGP for young adults, in which patients develop from a junior to a senior position each phase transition marked by specific tasks and achievements which can be considered as a 'coming of age ritual'. For therapists working with young adults it is important to learn how to balance between setting limits and facilitating separation. Similarly, the therapist tries to stimulate the young adults to become autonomous individuals with a firm healthy young adult mode. This is a delicate process in which the therapist has to be sensitive towards the actual dependency on and loyalty towards the parents. We will focus on the approach of the therapist as an adequate, ‘good enough’ parent adjusted to the specific needs of the young adult. Teaching methods used in this workshop will include imagery, role play and chair work.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
The workshop is intended for: Beginners and Advanced
