Introduction to Schema Therapy : Part 1 - core childhood needs & maladaptive schemas

United States · CE points & talks · Psychologists

Schema Therapy, developed by Dr Jeffrey Young in the 1990s, is an integrative, evidence-based approach that combines elements of cognitive, behavioural, attachment, and psychodynamic models. It has been shown to be especially effective in working with clients facing longstanding emotional and relational difficulties.

In Part 1 of this two-part webinar series, Clinical Psychologist Nicky Abdinor introduces the foundational concepts of Schema Therapy, with a focus on the core emotional needs of children and how early unmet needs can lead to the development of 18 maladaptive schemas. These schemas serve as cognitive and emotional templates that shape an individual’s view of themselves, others, and the world.

This session is ideal for psychologists new to Schema Therapy, those considering formal sponsorship, or clinicians looking to refresh and deepen their theoretical understanding. While Part 1 can be viewed independently, it pairs meaningfully with Part 2, which explores schema modes and therapeutic techniques in greater depth.
