LIVE WEBINAR Thursday, 10 March, 9am-1pm AEDT |
Independent of treatment modality, research suggests that formulation improves client outcomes. In schema therapy, formulation guides the treatment and enhances the limited reparenting. However, it can feel confusing to know where to begin with schema therapy formulation. It can be overwhelming to integrate the client’s presenting issues, schema questionnaires, family history assessment, client memories, and mode maps. The resulting formulation can be unclear and may fail to guide the treatment. Join us in exploring what works and what doesn’t work when integrating assessment and formulation into your schema therapy sessions. You’ll learn practical strategies to guide your treatment that you can start implementing immediately. This webinar will also be recorded. Indicate at the checkout if you are attending the live webinar or would like the recording. You’ll walk away with:
We’ll also support you after the event with an optional and complimentary supervision session on Thursday, 7 April from 9.15-10.30am for those who wish to receive further guidance and extend their skills.

3 Tuesdays 9:30am - 2:30pm, AEST (Melbourne time) March 8, 15, 22 2022 | This workshop gives you the opportunity to learn how Schema Therapy is adapted to a Group Schema Setting. The unique GST model integrates their original group work with Young’s individual Schema Therapy (ST) (2003) & the ST outcome research of Arntz (2009). GST strategically uses the therapeutic factors of the group modality to catalyze the work of schema mode change. GST is an innovative approach to ST that goes far beyond traditional group therapy models; furthermore, it does not simply incorporate individual ST interventions into a group format, rather, has developed new adaptations of ST interventions for the group modality.
The central idea behind GST is that the group members, with the guidance of the therapists, create their own “family” in which they add sibling socialization to the reparenting the therapists provide. As part of this group corrective emotional process patients do imagery and roleplaying exercises in which they take on the roles of each group member’s various modes (e.g., the Detached Protector, the Healthy Adult, Punitive Parent) and ultimately heal them. The experience of ST in a supportive, validating group can directly impact and heal key schemas such as, abandonment, defectiveness, emotional deprivation, social isolation and mistrust/abuse. Like individual ST, GST improves: stability of self, interpersonal relationships, social, family, and occupational functioning and quality of life. There is considerable research now supporting the effectiveness of the GST approach, including empirical validation from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) (Farrell & Shaw, 2009) and pilot studies conducted in the US, the Netherlands and in Germany (Reiss, Lieb, Arntz, Shaw & Farrell, 2013). Training will discuss ways in which techniques can be adapted to an online forum. Participants receive a 20 week group protocol with worksheets and resources to begin their own group if they sign up to both the basics and advanced workshop. Training Dates and Details: Training is offered over a three days, 9:30am-2:30pm AEDT, March 8, 15, 22. Who is eligible to attend: This training is for therapists who are registered with their professional body, including psychologists, social worker and psychiatrists. Please note that ISST certification has requirements, including minimum study requirements. Please go to the ISST website for further details.

For registrations outside of Australia: The training will occur 9:30am-2:30pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time which includes participant interaction in the dyadic work, so please ensure you are able to attend as per below ISST requirements.

27-28 Aug | Self-Therapy/Self-Reflective Practise for Schema Therapy Practitioners with Rita Younan, Ruth Holt & Megan Fry In Schema Therapy, the therapist’s qualities are central to the therapeutic technique in providing limited re-parenting and a working model of a ‘healthy adult’. An important part of training for Schema Therapists (and therapists in general) therefore is self-reflective practice; to understand and manage the activation of our own underlying schemas and modes. This is especially important for therapists who routinely work with complex patients (e.g. complex trauma, eating disorders, personality disorders) and settings (e.g. prisons, inpatient wards, group therapy work) which can easily trigger our own schema-based reactions. Awareness and management of our own schemas and modes is therefore crucial to effective schema therapy and managing risk of therapist burnout. Participation in the workshop will include practice of new interventions to use with clients and give access to a deeper, ‘experiential’ understanding of schema therapy interventions. There are three ways this workshop could be used for ISST Schema Therapy certification.
This two day workshop is based on the Schema Therapy Self-practice/Self-reflection workbook for therapists by Joan Farrell & Ida Shaw “Schema Therapy from the Inside-Out”. Attendance is beneficial for both new and experienced therapists. Location: This workshop is being held at Peppers, Noosa Resort & Villas, Sunshine Coast Queensland on Saturday August 27th and Sunday August 28th from 9.30 to 4.30pm. Cost is $799, early bird before June 30th, $899 thereafter.
