INTRODUCTION

The present course organized by the Dutch Institute for Schema therapy aims to familiarize participants with the core elements of schema therapy and the main methods and techniques in the treatment of personality disorders or persistent syndrome disorders. The first 12 editions of this online training have been extremely well evaluated with positive comments on the roleplayed demonstrations and the amount of practice of methods and techniques. 

This training will be presented online, using Zoom as an interactive platform that allows for practical demonstrations, exercises in breakout rooms and sharing clips and videos displaying some of the core elements of schema therapy. 

At the end of 40 hrs, the students will be able to detect schemas and schema modes, to identify and make a case conceptualization of the patient in terms of basic needs, schemas, coping styles and modes. 

Participants are also able to use the therapeutic relationship of Limited reparenting as the main tool in the re-working schemas and schema modes.  

Ultimately, participants will be able to use the foremost methods and techniques, such as cognitive techniques and experiential techniques as imagery rescripting, chair work and historical role play. 

To achieve this, use is made of a diverse and vibrant curriculum in which short introductions to topics are interspersed with demonstrations (role playing or audio-visual clips) after which the students practice the skills demonstrated by themselves and then discuss these experiences in the group.  Great importance is attached to a safe and pleasant learning environment in which students learn the basics of schema therapy. At the end of the course participants will be able to, supported by peer review and supervision, perform schema therapeutic treatments.

CERTIFICATION

This training can count for certification for the InternationalSociety for Schema Therapy (ISST)

THE REQUIREMENTS FROM THE ISST:

To qualify for certification in Schema Therapy a person must fulfill the following two qualifications: 

1. Academic training: Hold at least a master’s degree in psychology, clinical social work, psychiatric nursing or a counseling area that leads to licensing; or a medical degree with psychiatric residency (or residency equivalent if it is defined differently in that country). 

2. License or certification for practice: In countries that certify or license the above professions, a person must be certified or licensed by either the government body or professional organization which grants this. If no such control exists in a country, the standard of one of the national or international professional psychotherapy organizations must be met to fulfill this requirement. 

If you belong to another group that is licensed or certified to practice psychotherapy in your country, please submit this information with your academic qualifications to be considered for certification application. Some countries have described in detail how the ISST qualifications need to be applied for their country. The UK is one example of this and for exception requests these standards are used.
