Members who complete an ISST approved training program can become certified in schema therapy at a standard or an advanced level and will be placed on our referral list of certified schema therapists.
Standard International Certification will allow you to practice as an ISST approved schema therapist, participate in outcome studies and train or supervise at a basic level.
Advanced International Certification will allow you to treat all patients as an ISST approved schema therapist and participate in outcome studies. If you meet the additional requirements for trainer-supervisor status you will be able to supervise, train and rate other therapists, and apply to run an ISST approved training program.
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.
