Schema-Focused Cognitive Therapy

Schema related treatment approaches have been shown to be effective for a variety of difficult to treat conditions. However, the long-term nature of pure schema therapy is not a fit for all clients in all settings. Thus, many professionals find themselves scratching their heads for effective alternatives to more quickly meet the needs of a segment of their caseloads.
Most practitioners are familiar with standard CBT which offers a variety of tools and techniques helpful for managing symptoms. But few are versed in the deeper schema-level work that is necessary for truly treating the most challenging conditions seen in the clinical setting.
Schema modification treatments offer a refreshing hybrid between dynamic, insight-oriented
approaches and evidence-based cognitive behavioural therapy, incorporating attachment theory, psychodynamic concepts, and emotion-focused techniques as well. Also, in comparison to traditional CBT, Schema-Focused Therapy emphasizes identifying and changing lifelong
patterns, and utilises the therapeutic relationship in a powerful way to leverage deeper level
change, making it particularly well suited for complex, resistant clients with entrenched, chronic psychological challenges.
Schema-based techniques have proven themselves capable of modifying underlying meaning at “the root” of client’s presenting problems without sacrificing practical “here and now”
interventions. Join internationally known and three-time bestselling author Dr. Jeff Riggenbach
as he leads us in this highly engaging online course, offering unique insights from a Christian
perspective along the way.
