Course: Schema Focused Cognitive Therapy for challenging patients

Name: Promoting change in complex cases with Schema Focused Therapy
Price: 120.00 USD
Availability: InStock

Overview

Individuals struggling with personality disorders, impulsive and destructive behaviors are among the most challenging to reach and connect with. In sessions, they can be easily triggered, present extreme thinking patterns, experience intense feelings, and challenge boundaries. Often, they do not respond to standard treatment protocols. Fortunately, Schema-Focused Therapy is showing increasingly positive results for these patients.

In this workshop, Dr. Jeff Riggenbach will present the integrated schema-focused cognitive model, providing you with clinical tools to effectively address these challenging cases. This comprehensive training will equip you with practical strategies to implement with individuals struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), addictions, impulse control issues, and other emotionally dysregulated or Cluster B presentations.

It will cover:

An overview of the following models: schema-focused CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and schema therapy
What makes people “challenging”?
The role of schemas in information processing
The 18 early maladaptive schemas grouped into five different domains: disconnection and rejection, impaired autonomy and performance, impaired limits, other-directedness and overvigilance
The various characteristics of schemas and their reinforcement
The schema modification protocol and the states of change
“Top Down” vs. “Bottom Up” interventions
Integrated case studies

Dr. Jeff Riggenbach will emphasize the importance of the therapeutic alliance. He will introduce effective techniques for both individual and group interventions, fostering better outcomes. This comprehensive training will prepare you for the most demanding clinical challenges!
