Focus of the course: This workshop will assist those with some background in Schema Therapy in developing and fine-tuning their skills. The workshop will also specifically look at the implementation of treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) as well as Narcissism. Participants will have extensive opportunity to practice experiential exercises such as imagery and chair work. Time will be allocated to troubleshoot commonly experienced difficulties such as working with the detached protector and parent modes.

This workshop presented by STTA is accredited by the International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST) as a 3-day workshop that can be used as the second and final workshop for the purpose of accreditation as a schema therapist.
