Schema Therapy from private practice-herzberge.de Blog Part 1 and Part 2 together:


Schema Therapy - an inclusive approach leads therapy techniques along

ParachutePsychoanalysis and behavior therapy, the two major schools of therapy faced each other in the 80s and claimed alternately to be a better form of treatment. The psychotherapy researcher Klaus Grawe analyzed both therapy methods and demonstrated that both are effective in the treatment of mental illness. While the psychoanalytically oriented, psychodynamic process seem rather through a better understanding of the mental processes, so do the behavioral approaches by a specific change in behavior. Grawe suggested makes sense to combine both perspectives.
Parallel to Klaus Grawe developed Jeffrey Young in the U.S. end of the 80erJahre the approach of Schema Therapy. Schema Therapy is an integrative approach, proven therapy techniques from different psychotherapy approaches brings together and achieved good therapeutic effects. It combines concepts of depth psychology, behavioral therapy, and humanistic approaches, in particular the Gestalt therapy.

The relationship experiences in early childhood can change the whole life of that people shape (attachment research). The neurobiological research also provides evidence that human actions more by emotions (feelings) is controlled as of cognition (understanding). The American neuroscientist LeDoux was able to demonstrate that reflect these experiences and experiences directly in the structure of the brain or "branding".
For this reason, Jeffrey Young emphasizes that it is important in the context of schema therapy, verhalthenstherapeutische techniques to expand so that emotional experiences are strongly activated in order to change the brain "branded" content better.
The focus of the schema therapy is partly good and trusting therapeutic relationship between the patient and the therapist. In the therapeutic setting a similarly good relationship quality is to be prepared as between good parents and their child. It could be demonstrated neurobiological that in the context of this relationship design, the same neural structures can be re-enabled, which were created in early childhood.
The therapist strives thus positively influencing the activated structures and change it. J. Young speaks of "Nachbeelterung" or "limited parental care" (see E. Roediger, Getting out of life traps).
