Schema Therapy, developed by Jeffrey Young and his friends, is a holistic therapy which includes mainstream therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, Gestalt, object relations and psychoanalytic. Schema Therapy focuses on the long lasting chronic problems of individuals. This method focuses on the core emotional needs of childhood. Accordingly, every child needs a secure attachment, freedom to express needs and emotions, realistic limits, autonomy, spontaneity and play.
When things do not go right with the caretakers of the child, and when the basic emotional needs of the child are not met, early in life, early maladaptive schemas begin to develop. This leads to an upset psychological wellness state of mind, during the adult phase of life. A unique approach of Schema Therapy which separates this method from the others is the limited repeating parenting notion. The therapist meets the client’s early unfulfilled basic emotional needs, within the limits of psychotherapy, and acts as a limited parent to the client once more, so that the client can be a good parent to herself/himself.
According to Cognitive – Behavioral Therapy, the emotional reactions that a person displays to various situations shape up, due to the interpretation and the meanings derived from these situations. This view is based on the fact that our thoughts affect our feelings, physical reactions and our behavior, when faced with a situation.
CBT says that, generally, the events themselves are not the reason for negative feelings which lead to sadness and worries. Our emotions and reactions are affected by our interpretation of the situations. For example: when a situation is interpreted as bad and dangerous, we may feel threatened, worried, sad or angry. We may feel tense and go into defensive. On the other hand, when we judge a situation as positive or pleasant, we may feel comfortable and happy reflecting on the body as peaceful. How we perceive and interpret a situation is mostly related to what we have learned in our past lives. However, our thoughts may not always reflect the reality and this may be the basis for the situations that we face difficulty. CBT helps people reevaluate and change theirthoughts and interpretations.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) developed in 1987 by Dr. Francine Shapiro is a holistic psychotherapy approach. When it was accidentally discovered that the eye movements reduced the disturbing affects of strong uncomfortable thoughts; the effects of this method was scientifically studied on people subjected to traumatic experience. EMDR, which aims to desensitize negative emotions, beliefs and body sensations caused by different stressful and difficult life events such as war stress, natural disasters, sexual abuse, phobia, depression, anxiety, performance anxiety, body image disorder, grief, aims to reprocess these experiences in a positive way. Shapiro, F. (2001).
We learn most of the attitude and behavior from the family in which we have been brought up or through the family ties that govern this culture. Being a part of to these systems, we are in touch with the people and we interact with them. Not only the family and the community, but sub systems like the workplace, education and social groups also affect us. Systematic therapy, suggests theevaluation of the individuals according to the systems that they are a part of. Psychotherapy studies the roots of our thoughts and conducts and provides a safe perimeter by reconstructing the non functional ones or rebuilding them. During this period, Systematic Therapy works with the systems that form the parts of the client. The reasons why the client asks for therapy are examined, aiming at increasing the life quality of the client towards the determined targets. Every system has a specific order. For this reason, initially, the roles in which the client is subjected to through rules, limits, the relationships and the format of the members are investigated. The aim at the end of this period is to have the client find out about his/her strong points, functional resources and increase the emotional endurance. This method could be applied on the individuals, couples, and families.
In couples’ therapy, the problems faced in a relationship is discussed and tried to be solved. One of the basic aims is to make the feelings/thoughts or actions more understandable by their spouses and strengthen the communication between them. The methods to be used in couple’s therapy aredetermined according to the needs of the individuals; however, in general, the basic steps are similar. After getting acquainted with the partners, the therapist helps to name and identify the feelings and recognize them.
Although living in the same family culture, differences, and in relation to this, disagreements may emerge in the family, among the family members. Family therapy is a phase during which the conflicts and problems are solved, accompanied by a specialist. It focuses on how the family system works, and the relationships of the family members with each other. The main objective is to have the family members understand each other better and strengthen their relationships. During the therapy, the subject to be worked on is determined by the help of the therapist and a treatment plan is formed. Family therapy helps to reinforce the relationships of the family members and helps to overcome the difficulties and stresses in hard times. The skills that are achieved during the therapy, help continue healthy and balanced relationships in the family.
Attachment theory is the basis of Emotion Centered Couple’s Therapy devised by Dr. Susan Johnsonand Dr. Lesley Greenberg in the beginning of the1980s (Johnson & Greenberg, 1985).
One of the initial aims of the Emotion Focused Couple’s Therapy is to examine the negative patterns and loops in the emotional reactions of the couples, having trouble in their relationships and rearranging them, so that, the couples could change by interacting and reaching to each other in communication. In addition to this, it aims at rearranging the negative feelings of the partners, creating new interactions so that they can develop a positive and strong self confidence and establish a comfortable and secure communication with each other.
