Читать книгу Schema Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder - Hannie van Genderen - Страница 38

ST for BPD patients does not have a fixed protocol that describes per session which issues need to be addressed. After all, this is a therapy that covers more than a year. There are, however, a number of distinguishable phases in the therapy, which will be described later. It is important to the protocol of ST that the therapist is aware of how best to react toward the different modes. Because of the importance of this we have chosen, after describing the separate therapeutic techniques (Chapters 5–8), to devote a chapter on how the therapist can deal with each mode during different phases of the therapy (Chapter 9). In Chapter 10 we will give separate attention to the final phase of the therapy.

While there is no set order to these phases, there are four distinctive and distinguishable periods of therapy. Some phases may be omitted while others may recur at a later stage of therapy. These phases are:

1 starting phase and case conceptualization;

2 crisis management;

3 treatment phase: therapeutic interventions with schema modes;

4 final phase of therapy.
