Child and Adolescent Schema Therapy

• The first set of therapy cards for schema therapy
• Suitable for use with children and adults
• Also suitable for use in educational settings (schema pedagogy)

We all have various inner emotional states and coping responses triggered by day-to-day life situations – in schema therapy these are referred to as modes which underpin the practice of schema therapy. 56 picture cards illustrate various emotional states and responses. The cheerful, colourful illustrations can be used to talk playfully about various states and responses with young patients. Parents can also profit from these visual aids, which can help them to identify their own modes and respond to them more easily. The cards come with a set of instructions that describe a variety of ways to employ the cards in therapy. An explanatory description of the meaning of each card is included.

Target group:
Child and adolescent therapists, psychotherapists, counselors, school psychologists and educators
