Combined Group and Individual Schema Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder

by Veronique Dickhaut and Arnoud Arntz

In the latest blog from ISST Board Research and Science Coordinator Eshkol Rafaeli, the two guest authors, Veronique Dickhaut and Arnoud Arntz, describe the development of a combined group and individual Schema Therapy (ST) protocol for the treatment of patients suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder, and the results of a pilot study based on that protocol. Patients who received combined group/individual ST showed greater improvement in comparison with those who received solely individual ST. Notably, these patients reached happiness levels almost equivalent to those found in the general population. The blog concludes with an outline of the currently-running group ST international RCT. BPD TREATMENT WITH SCHEMA THERAPY

Schema Therapy Bulletin October 2015: Schema Therapy in Healthcare Settings

This second issue of the Schema Therapy Bulletin, edited by Lissa Parsonnet and ISST Board Secretary Chris Hayes, focuses on the use of schema therapy with medically ill patients. Unlike in more traditional applications of the model, the primary focus of medically ill patients is on disease management or cure, and the relief of physical symptoms rather than on psychiatric symptoms, relationship issues or other psychosocial concerns.

Articles in this issue include:

• Using the Schema Therapy Model to Help Patients Cope with a Cancer Diagnosis by Lissa Parsonnet
• Schema Therapy in Medical Settings by Cesar A. Gonzalez
• Working with Patients who have Chronic Illness by Elizabeth Lacy
• Schema Therapy in Dermatology by Alexandra Mizara
