INSTITUTE
Four-day intensive training group
SARONNO ITALY26-29 JANUARY 2017
Group Schema Therapy was developed by Farrell & Shaw (1994, 2012). The GST model integrates their original group work with Young’s individual Schema Therapy (ST)(2003)& the ST outcome research of Arntz (2009). GST strategically uses the therapeutic factors of the group modality to catalyze the work of schema mode change. GST is a unique approach to ST that goes far beyond traditional group therapy models; furthermore, it does not simply incorporate individual ST interventions into a group format, rather, has developed new adaptations of ST interventions for the group modality. The central idea behind GST is that the group members, with the guidance of the therapists, create their own “family” in which they add sibling socialization to the reparenting the therapists provide. As part of this group corrective emotional process patients do imagery and roleplaying exercises in which they take on the roles of each group member’s various modes (e.g., the Detached Protector, the Healthy Adult, Punitive Parent) and ultimately heal them.

The experience of ST in a supportive, validating group can directly impact and heal key schemas such as, abandonment, defectiveness, emotional deprivation, social isolation and mistrust/abuse. Like individual ST, GST improves: stability of self, interpersonal relationships, social, family, and occupational functioning and quality of life. There is considerable research now supporting the effectiveness of the GST approach, including empirical validation from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) (Farrell & Shaw, 2009) and pilot studies conducted in the US, the Netherlands and in Germany (Reiss, et al, manuscript submitted). These studies demonstrated very large positive effects from even a short group treatment of thirty sessions. A large multisite international RCT of GST for Borderline Personality Disorder is
in progress. Outcome studies to evaluate the effectiveness of GST for Cluster C Personality disorders and mixed groups of Clusters B & C are in development in the Netherlands. GST was developed with BPD patients but like individual ST it is adaptable to other challenging populations as well as entrenched maladaptive schema and mode effects in any patients.
This four-day training presents the GST model and its core interventions, which are used depending upon the stage of the group and the mode profiles of the group members. Core interventions include: group limited reparenting, group imagery re-scripting, mode-specific group role-plays, experiential group
work and the distinctive two therapist model that is crucial for maintaining the essence of limited reparenting with the more severe disorders. The work of Farrell and Shaw with Borderline personality disorder patients is presented along with their adaptations for other patient groups. Group Schema therapy functions in the same way as individual ST – i.e. therapist limited reparenting and mode change interventions are determined by
the mode a patient is in. GST works by a patient’s mode and mode profile, rather than strictly by disorder.
For that reason, GST like ST, can be used with any patient population. Demonstrations by trainers with participants playing patients from their clinical population are used to demonstrate adapting GST interventions for the presenting modes of various diagnostic groups.The workshop incorporates: didactic sections with powerpoint and group discussion, demonstrations by trainers in which the workshop participants play patients, DVD segments of the trainers leading a group and opportunities for participants to practice group interventions with coaching and feedback.
This is the first workshop in an organized curriculum of training in Group Schema Therapy offered by the St. Petersburg Schema Therapy Institute in cooperation with Schema Therapy Institute Midwest–Indianapolis and ISC. It is eligible for 24 training hours credit in the International Society of Schema Therapy certification program.

1. INTRODUCTION:THE GENERAL MODEL FOR GROUP SCHEMA THERAPY, Didactic BRIEF REVIEW OUTCOME RESEARCH
2. USING THE THERAPEUTIC FACTORS OF A GROUP TO CATALYZE AND AUGMENT SCHEMA THERAPY INTERVENTIONS• Going beyond the approaches of CBT, DBT, skills training and the psychodynamic
groupo Group Therapy, not individual therapy in a groupo Therapeutic factors that impact maladaptive schemaso How to “harness” the group’s power
- Creating emotional learning experiences- Building cohesiveness
3. OVERVIEW OF CONSTANTS & CHANGES: ST COMPARED TO GST• Theory, goals and major components are the same• What changes:
o Structure combined with flexibilityo Limited Reparenting o Adaptation of interventions
• LIMITED RE-PARENTING FOR GROUP:o The need to balance focus on group and focus on individualso The co-therapist team –one is always attending to connections o The importance of non-verbal therapist behavior
• EXPERIENTIAL WORK o Imagery work, imagery rescripting adapted to groupo Mode dialogues and role-plays adapted to groupo Vicarious learning as a powerful tool for Avoidant Coping modes
• COGNITIVE WORKo Cognitive work in group ST goes beyond the didactic
• BEHAVIORALPATTERNBREAKINGo Behavioral pattern breaking uses the group – in vivo practiceo Group as microcosm of lifeo Peer feedback can be more powerful than therapist’s – ‘more real’
