    Fall in love with Edinburgh, the showpiece of Scotland, as you Dive Deeper into Schema Therapy.

    Come see one of Europe's most entertaining cities, Edinburgh, with stunning vistas and a skyline full of domes, spires, towers, and steeples. Experience both old and new, with cobbled streets, narrow lanes, medieval "skyscrapers," and plush courtyards of the Old Town, or the upscale shops spread out along broad boulevards and Georgian mansions waiting to greet you in the New Town.

    Edinburgh is a UNESCO world heritage site, a destination city packed with both ancient elements and modern fun.

    Some highlights include: 

    • The Royal Mile: a street will lead you from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, historical sites for some of the most important struggles between Scotland and England. The thoroughfare includes Castlehill, Lawnmarket, Parliament Square, High Street, Canongate, and many more attractions
    • Dazzling Architecture: from the labyrinthine medieval streets of Old Town to the modern developments in New Town, including the Scottish Parliament, you will see exquisite architecture that spans the centuries 
    • Gastronomic Pleasures: an ever-expanding dining and restaurant scene hosted by celebrity chefs serves up enticing delicacies that span the globe, along with local Scottish cuisine, such as Cullen skink and haggis with neeps and tatties
    • Rare Treasures: Edinburgh offers unique "villages," including Stockbridge and Leith, where you can find chic designer clothing, swanky knitwear, and trendy items to take home

    ENLIGHT 2019 is the Schema Therapy Event of the Year, taking place May 1st through the 3rd. The International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST) will bring together a worldwide community of clinicians, researchers, educators and supporters for its biennial symposium (formerly known as Summer School).

    A limited number of Tier 4 rates are now available for a few more registrants.

    If you haven't yet registered, don't wait: we have less than 50 spots remaining until we reach full capacity.

    Rates go up and availability goes down with each Tier level. Workshop sizes are also very limited, so to get your top choices among selections that are still available, register now.


    If you have not yet registered: the sooner you register, the more you save, and the more likely you will get to attend your preferred workshops. Less than 50 spaces remain for the symposium.

    Where to stay? Edinburgh offers accommodations to satisfy every taste and budget. Grand historical hotels offer old-world charm, and modern, design hotels allure you with contemporary habitats. Edinburgh also offers B&Bs with a friendlier budget, where you can experience how local residents live.

    If you missed INSPIRE 2018 in Amsterdam, or want to relive part of your experience, watch the Keynote Address of Jeff Young and Jeff Conway.


    The New Case Conceptualization Form: Its Central Role in Schema Therapy
    by Jeff Young and Jeff Conway

    Jeff Young, the creator and founder of Schema Therapy, and Jeff Conway, the current Training Coordinator on the ISST Executive Board, present their keynote address at INSPIRE 2018 in Amsterdam. 

    During their keynote address, Jeff and Jeff discuss the New Case Conceptualization Form in more detail, helping clinicians complete a vital resource for effective treatment in Schema Therapy. 

    The New Case Conceptualization Form helps clinicians avoid treatment failures, and encourages new solutions for treatment impasses. Jeff and Jeff also cover the Instruction Guide with Detailed Help, a Sample Form, and share illustrations of how to best utilize the new form for effective treatment.

    The Case Conceptualization Committee, consisting of Jeff Young, Jeff Conway, Susanne Vind, Poul Perris, Vartouhi Ohanian, and David Edwards, worked extensively for more than two years to develop the new form. Their work included the completion of a pilot study that many ISST members participated in. 

    The New Case Conceptualization Form will play a central role in Schema Therapy Supervision, Training, and Certification procedures. It is now available in multiple languages, with more translations anticipated in the near future.

    A special thanks to Jeff and Jeff for granting permission for this video to be shown exclusively to active ISST Members enrolled on the website.

    This INSPIRE 2018 video was created and produced by Travis Atkinson, Media Coordinator for the ISST Executive Board.

    Schema Therapy is an evolving model due largely to our members’ creativity, courage, thoughtfulness, insight, and commitment to helping clients. These traits are highly evident in the work of the authors contributing to this edition of the Schema Therapy Bulletin.
     

    In this issue, Lynda Parry provides a history of the use of dreams in psychotherapy, and then discusses her use of dreams to access the Vulnerable Child Mode in therapy. Her article thoughtfully explores key questions including the degree to which such work could accelerate symptom reduction while ignoring underlying causes, particularly in the case of complex trauma; by “manipulating” dreams are we “short circuiting” some of the work the brain needs to do to process information and function optimally; and by working with dreams could we underuse the therapeutic relationship in ways that may prevent growth and healing or are therapeutic dysfunctions inevitable and their repair an aid to healing? Parry provides an important overview of sleep and dream stages, outlines the history of dream work in CBT, and the importance of timing in working with clients’ dreams.


    Lisa Elizabeth Irvine provides a Schema Therapy perspective on Parental Alienation Syndrome, a problem particularly relevant to clinicians working with children of divorce.  She conceptualizes the triangulation that can occur in these situations as the wounded parent compensating for feelings of defectiveness and shame, and to escape the Vulnerable Child Mode by engaging in overcompensating modes, which have the effect of enlisting the children to protect the wounded parent, thus alienating the other parent, now seen as a perpetrator, or Punitive Parent. This creates a paradigm of victim, perpetrator and rescuer, with the children co-opted to serve the needs of the alienating parent. Irvine elaborates on the challenges, both clinical and ethical in working with this dynamic. 

    Wendy Behary and Liz Lacy provide an overview of their presentation in Amsterdam discussing, “Narcissism, Shame and Intimacy: Dealing with the Unmet Needs of the Narcissist." Behary and Lacy describe the thrill seeking self-soothing detachment that many narcissists seek through sexual exploits. They make the distinction between sexualized efforts to evade feelings of defectiveness and shame, and true intimacy, which could actually heel those feelings. Schema Therapy approaches to workings with this population are described, with an emphasis on knowing and coping well with one’s own schemas.

    Finally, Sally Skewes provides an introduction and overview of “Secure Nest,” a self-education “e-health” tool” developed to help people assess and understand their own schemas and modes, and recognize their triggers.

    We continue to call for contributions for upcoming issues of the Schema Therapy Bulletin. If you have an article or want to propose a contribution, please make contact.

    Schema Therapy and Dreams: Accessing the Vulnerable Child
    by Lynda Parry, Clinical Psychologist, Australia.

     

    In his book The Interpretation of Dreams (1899) Freud heralded dreams as the royal road to the unconscious. Now almost 130 years later we know that the highway of dreams is in fact a two-way street. Lived experience influences dreams and dreams, even when they are not remembered, influence our waking experience. Research into dreams and sleep reveal exciting results and have led to new ways to work with patients’ dreams. This knowledge changes how we conduct therapy using dreams. Patients usually report enjoying dream work and consistently rate working alliance, insight and session quality significantly higher when dreams are included in therapy sessions (Wonnel & Hill, 2000).

    Seeing Parental Alienation Syndrome Through the Lens of Schema Therapy: Proposals for Treatment
    by Lisa Elizabeth Irvine, Clinical Psychologist, Australia. 

    Psychologists working in the field of family law and high-conflict divorce are often exposed to the family-based attachment pathology known as Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS). PAS is a subversive form of child abuse, in which the attachment bond between a child and an emotionally-available parent is deliberately undermined, and a perverse loyalty is formed with the Alienating parent after separation or divorce. Family Systems Therapists call this a Cross-Generational Coalition whereby the child is triangulated into the parental relationship in order to reject and vilify the Alienated parent. 

    Earlier researchers have referred to the systematic alienation of one parent as the ‘Medea Complex’, Malicious Mother Syndrome and Gatekeeper syndrome. Others have claimed that PAS is analogous to the Factitious Disorder, Munchausen Syndrome. Childress has since asserted that the underlying psychopathology of the Alienating parent is a Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

    An Individual's Insights into Secure Nest's Self-Education Program
    by Sally Skewes, Secure Nest and Elly Gannon, University of Adelaide, Australia.

     

    Secure Nest is an innovative e-health tool, which has been specifically developed for schema therapy. The platform offers a range of tools for therapists to support their clients, including programs which provide step by step guidance for therapists to facilitate blended short-term group schema therapy and individual schema therapy. Blended programs include a combination of face to face and e-health sessions. Secure Nest recently developed a self-education program where individuals can learn about schema therapy. In this article we present an individual’s insights into Secure Nest’s self-education program.

    Narcissism, Shame and Intimacy: Dealing with the Sexually Self-Absorbed and Healing the Fractured Trust
    by Wendy Behary, LCSW and Liz Lacy, LCSW, USA.


    From celebrities to political figures to the everyday individual... We have been bombarded by the news media in the U.S. with the recent meteoric rise in attention to acts of sexual misconduct, the sexual predators, perpetrators, addicts, and general sexual preoccupation. It is no surprise that we, as therapists, find ourselves continuing to peer into the important underlying explanations and evaluate the potential for helping individuals and relationships affected by these behaviors and attitudes to heal.

    Exploring the specific issues and critical content related to sexual activity can be, albeit incredibly important to conceptualization and treatment, an uncomfortable endeavor for many therapists. We need to be extraordinarily sturdy in our own skin when it comes to sexuality, personal feelings and biases about infidelity, and our deep understanding of the functions of sexualized modes and schemas.  Add to that… the capacity to address the belligerence, self-righteous entitlement, denial, and arrogance of a narcissistic client with hypersexual modes.

    How do you create corrective emotional experiences for yourself?
    View this email in your browser
    Experiencing Schema Therapy from the Inside-Out: Corrective Emotional Experiences for Therapists
    by Joan Farrell and Ida Shaw 

    This keynote presents the use of self-practice (SP) and self-reflection (SR) in Schema Therapy based upon their book Experiencing Schema Therapy from the Inside-Out: A Self-Practice/Self-Reflection Workbook for Therapists (Guilford Press, 2018).

    The SP/SR process will be described in terms of its multiple applications: personal benefit, as a corrective emotional experience for therapists, improved understanding of the client experience leading to changes in ST practice and increased understanding of ST.

    Joan and Ida will demonstrate key SP/SR interventions to give the audience the experience of this approach. The research evidence supporting the use of SP/SR for both new and experienced therapists will also be briefly reviewed. 

    Joan and Ida have graciously granted permission for us to provide a digital recording of their keynote, with copyright restrictions, to all active ISST members enrolled on the website.
