  • Gary Byrne

摘要

Proponents of schema focused therapy (SFT) have accrued a growing and persuasive evidence base that indicates it as one of a small number of treatments for personality difficulties and associated issues. However, unlike other treatments, SFT’s focus has predominantly remained on adults with enduring and chronic psychopathology. This comprehensive narrative review firstly aims to articulate the theoretical application of SFT as a means of addressing suitable psychological vulnerabilities and associated issues with adolescents. In addition, the review aims to highlight the potential use of SFT techniques when integrated into parental interventions as a means of strengthening the parent-child relationship. Finally, the review aims to synthesize the accumulation of SFT research applicable to work with adolescents and parents with a view towards delineating future treatment development and clinical application among a wide range of mental health and social care professions.
