About the Course

The introductory workshop illustrates the formation and perpetuating model of maladaptive schemas against the background of age-specific developmental tasks, risk and protective temperamental factors. Relative to the children’s age, early maladaptive schemas described by Young are outlined with their typical child and adolescent appearance and coping strategies. Other topics include the multimodal diagnostic techniques (use of exploration, survey, imagery, case conceptualization) and explain the significance of the therapeutic relationship, psychoeducation and empathic confrontation.

As an overview, therapeutic strategies are demonstrated: Working with drawings and pictures, finger and hand puppets, working with stories, metaphors, chair work, imagery, and the use of flash cards.

Video examples or life demonstrations and role-play in groups of two or three participants ensure the consolidation and deepening of following exercises:

• Imagery Parent Interview
• Creating a Mode Sketch
• Conducting a Mode Interview
• Working with (stem) stories
• Working with finger and hand puppets
• Working with chair dialogues (3-Chair dialogue: “Mode driving license”)
• Working with mode cards (Mode walk: Feel, Talk, & Walk)
• Working with chair dialogues (2-Chair dialogue: Focus Critic/Punisher)
• Imagery (Fantasy Trip to the Clever & Wise Mode)
