[Online schema therapy: a cross-sectional survey among Dutch therapists]

BACKGROUND: Long waiting lists exist for the treatment of personality disorders, which can be shortened by using videoconference treatment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, by necessity, videoconferencing was used to provide schema therapy, a specific treatment for personality disorders.

Schema focused and mentalization based therapy - an integrative proposal

Schema Focused Therapy (henceforth SFT) is an integrative theory of therapy, which includes aspects of various different therapeutic approaches, but does not stress mentalization. Mentalization Based Therapy (henceforth MBT) focuses on mentalization, but lacks several causes for impaired mentalization found in SFT. The current article aims to fill these respective gaps. To this end, an assimilation of mentalization into SFT is suggested, causes of impaired mentalization are collected from SFT, and practical implications are discussed.

Les resultats ont revele qu'il existe une correlation significative entre les theories, les hypotheses de base et les concepts lies au processus d'intervention SFBT dans le but d'aider les individus a trouver des solutions aux problemes qui sont ou seront vecus. Cette etude peut alors constituer une reference scientifique pour l'application de l'approche SFBT dans le but d'ameliorer la capacite a trouver des solutions.

Die Anwendung von SBFT kann praktisch, effektiv und effizient erfolgen. Diese Studie verwendet eine vergleichende Analyse, die sich auf verschiedene relevante Literatur zwischen SFBT und psychischer Angst bezieht, insbesondere zum COVID-19-Ausbruch in Form von Artikeln in wissenschaftlichen Zeitschriften, Nachschlagewerken und anderen Informationen aus vertrauenswurdigen Quellen. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass es eine signifikante Korrelation zwischen Theorien, sowohl Grundannahmen als auch Konzepten im Zusammenhang mit dem SFBT-Interventionsprozess gibt, um Einzelpersonen dabei zu helfen, Losungen fur Probleme zu finden, die auftreten oder auftreten werden. Diese Studie kann dann als wissenschaftliche Referenz fur die Anwendung des SFBT-Ansatzes zur Verbesserung der Losungsfahigkeit dienen.

Questo studio utilizza l'analisi comparativa, che fa riferimento a varie pubblicazioni rilevanti tra SFBT e ansia psicologica, in particolare nell'epidemia di COVID-19 sotto forma di articoli di riviste scientifiche, libri di consultazione e altre informazioni da fonti attendibili. I risultati hanno rivelato che esiste una correlazione significativa tra le teorie, sia i presupposti di base che i concetti relativi al processo di intervento SFBT nel tentativo di aiutare le persone a trovare soluzioni ai problemi che sono o saranno vissuti. Questo studio puo quindi essere un riferimento scientifico per l'applicazione dell'approccio SFBT come sforzo per migliorare la capacita di trovare soluzioni.

The Young Parenting Inventory (YPI-R3), and the Baumrind, Maccoby and Martin Parenting Model: Finding Common Ground.

The parenting typology of Baumrind, Maccoby and Martin is based on variations in warmth and control and consists of three negative parenting styles labelled authoritarian, neglectful, and permissive. This parenting typology is based on normal variations of parenting but did not include dimensions arising from deviant parenting (e.g., abuse and neglect). A parenting typology has emerged based on the schema therapy model through the development of the Young Parent Inventory (YPI-R3), which represents a fuller range of maladaptive parenting spanning the deviant to normal range of the parenting continuum. Using six international, community, nonclinical samples with separate ratings for mothers and fathers from the USA, n = 259, 281; South Africa, n = 318, 372; Nigeria, n = 328, 344; India, n = 277, 289; Singapore, n = 592, 628; and Malaysia, n = 222, 229, results showed that the best second order higher factor solution of the ten YPI-R3 subscales was a three factor solution that runs parallel to, and resembles, the three negative parenting styles of Baumrind, Macobby and Martin. This factor structure was also shown to be a consistent and cross-culturally acceptable model among the countries from which the samples were drawn. The resemblance and implications of both parenting models were discussed.

(Vi)-rushed Into Online Group Schema Therapy Based Day-Treatment for Older Adults by the COVID-19 Outbreak in the Netherlands.

BACKGROUND: Societal measures in context of the COVID-19 outbreak forced us to transform our schema therapy based day-treatment for older adults with chronic affective disorders and personality problems into an online program. The objective of this paper is to present first impressions of this transformation. METHODS: Using over-the-phone instructions initially, all patients were able to participate with the online therapy program. To reduce screen-time for patients, the nonverbal therapies were shortened. Four patients, aged 64-70 years, started our online program. RESULTS: Therapists were positive about the online capabilities and resilience of patients to adapt to the new situation. Prejudices on limited effectiveness of online psychotherapy were counteracted. Sending homework by email and mail seems to facilitate therapy adherence. Nonverbal therapy could be important to stimulate the online group process. CONCLUSION: We were positively surprised by the online capabilities of our geriatric mental healthcare patients and encourage further formal effectiveness studies.
