Training Submissions: Workshops & Skill Classes

Inspire 2018 ISST Amsterdam Conference

The Place to INSPIRE


The Deadline for Training Submissions has Passed

The ISST Executive Board is happy to announce a call for training presentations for INSPIRE 2018 in Amsterdam. We invite you to submit proposals for two types of Training presentations:

    • In-Congress Workshops of 180 minutes (including a short break)

These are presentations of treatment or interventions for a specific mode, clinical diagnosis or presenting problem. Workshops include demonstrations and practice opportunities with discussion of the everyday clinical use of the treatment or intervention and participants experience of the practice.

Examples are: Imagery rescripting in Group Schema Therapy to fight the Punitive Critic mode; Limited reparenting strategies to connect with adolescent clients with Borderline Personality features; Safety interventions for clients with complex trauma.

    • Skill Classes of 90 minutes

These are presentations of one intervention for a specific purpose. Skill Sessions consist of demonstration, opportunity for participants to practice and brief discussion of their experience.

Examples are: A Mode dialogue intervention in which the therapist plays the client’s Vulnerable Child mode in order to increase their compassion for their VCM; an intervention to fight the Punitive Critic mode using an effigy drawn on cloth; using audio flashcards.

If you have developed an original intervention or an adaptation of a standard intervention that fits within the Schema Therapy model and furthers one of the treatment goals of Schema Therapy, we welcome you to submit a proposal for a 90 minute Skill Training presentation. This is an opportunity for additional creativity and intervention development from the feedback of your Schema Therapy colleagues.

Topics of Interest

Note: We want to encourage proposals that fit with the theme of the conference: Corrective Emotional Experiences: How Schema Therapy Transforms Lives. Schema Therapy is integrative of cognitive, behavioral and experiential or emotion-focused interventions, so proposals in those categories are welcome as long as they are consistent with the Schema Therapy model. Presentations of other therapy models are not appropriate for these sessions. When in doubt about the appropriateness of a presentation idea you have, feel free to contact the chair of the Conference Training Presentations Committee via email:

Why Schema Therapy?

Schema therapy has been extensively researched to effectively treat a wide variety of typically treatment resistant conditions, including Borderline Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
