[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 217983, member: 1545"] I know a little bit about this Tx. A 'schema' is a set representation in the brain. A 'mental structure' that represents the world. It is the framework that we use to interpret our lives. So in this type of therapy (usually used for borderlines) the therapist has to 'deconstruct' faulty schemas and reconstruct new functional ones. For instance, if a child is traumatized by a parent, the child builds a schema that says 'adults are not trustworthy'. Later in life, that child may have global issues regarding relationships. Schema therapy would help the adult patient deconstruct their faulty belief patterns regarding the trustworthiness of people. From what I have read it is more effective in dealing with personality disorders than it is mood disorders. [/QUOTE]
