"Differentiating Between a Parent Mode and an Overcontroller Mode"

A "Sneak Peak" by David Edwards

- Click picture above to see interview -

Negative voices (punitive, guilt-inducing, demanding, etc.) are often introjects from parent or authority figures and located in parent modes. They may also be part of overcompensatory modes: a "perfectionist" overcontroller incorporates rules that set standards as well as self-critical and demanding messages that motivate the individual to attain them. Such modes may begin in childhood where they shut down vulnerability to protect the child from hurtful behavior from adults.

David Edwards gives a "Sneak Peak" in an interview by Travis Atkinson of his Vienna workshop, explaining how existing parent messages may be recruited in their construction, so that what starts as an introject becomes part of a coping mode, and so of the self. In parent modes and in overcontrollers, the messages are self-directed, but in modes like "scolding overcontroller" or "bully and attack," they are turned on others, and incorporate elements from parent introjects. Knowing the source of the mode helps the therapist determine which strategy will be most helpful therapeutically.

Saturday Early Afternoon, July 2nd from 2:30 to 4:00 is:

"Schema Mode Inventory (SMI): What Does It Measure, and Does It Matter?"

An interview with Eamon Smith

- Click picture above to see interview -

Few studies have examined the factor structure of the Schema Mode Inventory (SMI), and specifically the theorized category structure of child, parent, and coping modes. This study presents an analysis of the factor structure, internal reliability, and inter-correlations among individual modes and measures of psychological distress and well-being.

In this interview by Travis Atkinson, Eamon Smith gives a sneak peak of his hot topic, hinting at some of the results of his study that lead to some provocative suggestions that may influence clinical work. Read more about this hot topic, one of five hot topics presented as one of your selections during the Early Afternoon Session on Saturday, July 2nd in Vienna: MEASURING THE SMI
