The International Society of Schema Therapy

The ISST was founded in 2008 at a conference in Coimbra Portugal.  The aims of the society are:

1). To promote training in schema therapy at a high professional level by specifying a curriculum for training and to provide accreditation and certification for trainees who show that they have met these requirements

2). To promote the development  and dissemination of new developments within schema therapy by holding regular conferences and training events

3). To provide a structure for networking among schema therapists and those seeking to become certified as schema therapists.
