Schema therapy

Schema therapy is a form of integrative psychotherapy developed by Jeffrey E. Young for use in the treatment of personality disorders and other chronic conditions such as long-term depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. Its basic assumption is that invalid assumptions and representations (schemes) hinder one's psychological functioning. Schema therapy aims to challenge and adjust those assumptions.
