Who is this workshop for? This workshop is suitable for a range of professionals who practice psychotherapy, including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other professions with psychotherapy training.
Workshop Content:
The training will cover the entire basic training in ST-CA with 64 teaching units (TU). This includes a 2-day Introductory Workshop (16 TU), completed by three additional immersion workshops in which the techniques of ST-CA are concretely learned (WS 2, 3, and 4; in total 48 TU, according to the ISST-requirements). This new format provides the opportunity to learn continuously, step by step, in a fixed group. Group size is limited to 20 participants.
In total, there are 4 workshop units (WS 1-4) within the “Children’s Curriculum”, first the schema therapeutic conceptual model (schemas, modes, coping strategies), the underlying theory (central importance core needs in the context of developmental tasks), possible diagnostic methods (eg, projective methods) and development of a schema-based therapeutic mindset (eg, concept of “limited reparenting” and “empathic confrontation”) that will enhance working with the specific temperament and personality factors of childhood and adolescence. Practitioners are taught to interweave schema-based therapeutic strategies that have proven successful with evidence-based strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy for childhood and adolescence. Another focus is laid on the teaching of advanced and deepening work with parents in the form of “Schema Coaching for Parents”. This includes schema or mode specific transactional processes between child and parent, and shed a light on the mutual reinforcement processes of child’s und parent’s maladaptive schemas and modes.
Beside the features of schema theory, the workshops offer many practical demonstrations through picture and video material and life demonstrations, and small exercises allow participants to transfer the content into their own practice.
