All about Coping Styles and Behavioral Strategies by Amir Askari |
Aims: Schema therapy has categorized many of the behaviors of humans into the three coping styles of “surrender, avoidance, and overcompensation.” Nevertheless, as we examine the behaviors of the patients with more precision and seriousness, we come to realize that it is a rather difficult task to classify all these behaviors into this triad. Since “classification” is one of the core methods humans have invented to grasp the meaning of different subjects more efficiently, the more this classification is done with precision and extensiveness, the more meaningful the patients’ responses would get for the therapists.Teaching Methods: In this workshop, I will discuss about different behavioral strategies as well as coping styles from an evolutionary perspective, ethology and interpersonal interactions. In clinical practices, it is highly beneficial to reveal the coping styles to the patients and give them an awareness of how incorporating these styles have adverse effects on their lives. Patient’s schemas tend to give automatic responses in the form of surrender, avoidance, and overcompensation styles in order to continue their survival. This usually happens outside of the patient’s awareness, and he would behave under the influence of his schemas and without having made an informed choice to do so. Accordingly, schemas do not set the stage in a way to perpetuate themselves only through the three coping styles of surrender, avoidance, and overcompensation, but they also utilize the other coping styles.
