Schema therapy is an integrated therapy comprising cognitive, Gestalt, attachment-based, object relations and behavioural components.  The therapy was developed by Jeffrey Young for adults with personality difficulties related to childhood trauma who did not respond to CBT.  At the heart of the treatment is the client’s unmet emotional needs from childhood and the maladaptive cognitive and emotional schemas related to these unmet needs.  Through interview and completion of schema questionnaires, the therapist works with the client to collaboratively identify unmet childhood emotional needs and associated schemas to create a shared formulation.  In a structured and systematic therapy of between 6 and 24 months, the therapist works to allow the client experience those needs being met in the therapy relationship and in experiential exercises, and thus facilitates schemas healing.  Homework is set around generalising this meeting of emotional needs outside the therapy relationship and helping clients to strength and develop their abilities to find adaptive ways to meet their emotional needs on an ongoing basis.  Schema therapy has been shown to be highly effective in treating individuals with complex issues including Borderline Personality Disorder (Gieson-Boo et al, 2006) and with other personality disorders (Bamelis et al, 2014).
