"an adjudicated hermeneutic single-case efficacy design study of individual schema therapy for chronic life problems" 

 hot topic by volkan gülüm, Gonca soygüt & Ece ataman



SUMMARY:

This study examines a Schema Therapy (ST) process in the framework of an adjudicated hermeneutic single-case efficacy design (HSCED) (Elliot et al., 2009). The client was 19-year old women suffering from chronic life problems. She was seen for 25 sessions of individual ST. The rich case summary was compiled from different symptomatic (SCL-90-R), relational (e.g. schema questionnaires: the YSQ-SF3, YCI & ECR-R) and psychotherapy process questionnaires (e.g. alliance inventories: The WAI-C & WAI-T), Changes were evaluated via reliable change index and clinical significance (Jacobson & Traux, 1991) and the change interview. Affirmative (favorable) and skeptic (opposed to) arguments developed based on these data and if observed change could be attributable to ST or not. Three judges assessed the rich case summary and arguments from both sides and concluded that the client substantially progressed over the course of therapy and changes were mainly due to ST. More specifically, experiential techniques and therapeutic relationship, which are the prominent features of ST, were considerably underlined by both client and judges. Contact: volkanglm@gmail.com
