Does schema therapy change schemas and symptoms? A systematic review across mental health disorders

摘要

PurposeSchema therapy was first applied to individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) over 20years ago, and more recent work has suggested efficacy across a range of disorders. The present review aimed to systematically synthesize evidence for the efficacy and effectiveness of schema therapy in reducing early maladaptive schema (EMS) and improving symptoms as applied to a range of mental health disorders in adults including BPD, other personality disorders, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
