Briefly describe and explain schema therapy.
What will be an ideal response?
Schema therapy is a relatively recent variation of cognitive therapy intended for clients who have borderline personality disorder or other long-standing, complex clinical issues. It is based on the idea that when young children are exposed to poor parenting (such as parents who are rejecting, unloving, abusive, unavailable, etc.), they are likely to develop schemas, or deep-seated cognitions about themselves and their relationships to others, that match their experience but are maladaptive as they move forward in life.
