Schema Mode Therapy - Clinician Guide

The Schema Mode Therapy Clinician Guide is a comprehensive treatment manual designed for mental health clinicians who have already completed training in Schema Mode Therapy. It is packed with therapist scripts, printable worksheets, experiential interventions and practical treatment tools to help you work systematically with complex presentations, personality difficulties and entrenched coping patterns.

Rather than teaching the theory of schema mode therapy, this guide helps you put it into practice. It follows a structured treatment pathway from assessment to relapse prevention, providing step-by-step guidance at every stage of therapy.

Inside you'll find:

• A complete Schema Mode Therapy treatment pathway
• Assessment guidelines, family origins assessment and case conceptualisation
• Guidance for identifying schemas and modes using the YSQ-R and Schema Mode Inventory
• Mode maps and formulation worksheets
• Therapist scripts for imagery, experiential techniques and limited reparenting
• Chair work and mode dialogue interventions
• Good Parent scripts and Healthy Adult interventions
• Behavioural pattern-breaking strategies
• Practical worksheets that can be printed and used directly with clients
• Therapeutic pitfalls, empathic confrontation and limited reparenting guidance
• Integration, relapse prevention and discharge planning to strengthen long-term Healthy Adult functioning.

This guide is designed to sit alongside the Schema Mode Therapy Complete Set of Worksheets and Schema Therapy Patient Workbook, giving clinicians everything they need to guide patients through the process of recognising maladaptive modes, healing the Vulnerable Child, managing Dysfunctional Parent and Coping Modes, and strengthening the Healthy Adult.

Written by Jess O'Garr (Clinical Psychologist) and Dr Al Griskaitis (Psychiatrist), this resource combines evidence-based schema mode therapy with practical, ready-to-use interventions that can be taken straight into the therapy room.
