Schema Therapy Society e.V. (ISST) - Excitement Builds for 6th Dutch Schema Therapy Congress

Excitement Builds for 6th Dutch Schema Therapy Congress

24 Sep 2015 5:03 PM | Travis Atkinson

Nearly 20 years ago, Jeffrey Young began training the first Dutch psychotherapists in the basic principles and techniques of schema therapy. These initial trainings focused on a large, multi-center research trail working with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and the results showed how successful schema therapy can be for BPD. Today, nearly 400 therapists are registered in the Dutch Schema Therapy Society. A diverse range of courses are offered using schema therapy, including BPD, cluster-C personality disorder, forensics, schema couples therapy, children and adolescents, and more.

The 6th Dutch congress is a great opportunity to answer questions about schema therapy. What do we know about schema therapy, and what type of interventions influence schema therapy's high success rates? What is the key to effective experiential techniques? How do we best use interventions to attain optimal outcomes? We look at the past and ground ourselves in the present to prepare for our future. Schema therapy will not be left out as new technologies change the therapeutic landscape. For instance, e-health is rising in popularity, and now is the time to ask what we know about using schema therapy with the latest technological developments. During the congress, we hope to answer these questions, and many more.

The keynote speakers are:

"Schema Therapy: Where are we now, and what do we need to know for the future?"

by Arnoud Arntz

"Online Schema Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder"

by Gitta Jacob

There will also be two symposiums with a focus on scientific research: "Youth in Trouble" and "Schema Therapy for Children and Adolescents." In addition, 12 workshops will be offered covering many topics, including "Working with the Healthy Adult Mode," "Schema Therapy and Faith," "Schema Therapy for People with Autism," "Friends for Life," and more.

Language: the congress will be conducted in Dutch
