Does schema therapy change schemas and symptoms? A systematic review across mental health disorders
Overview
This systematic review synthesizes evidence from 12 studies published between 1990 and January 2016 regarding the efficacy of schema therapy in reducing early maladaptive schemas and improving symptoms across various adult mental health disorders. The authors note that while significant changes were observed in most included studies, rigorous evidence for disorders other than borderline personality disorder remains sparse. The resource highlights a lack of formal mediation analyses and suggests that treatment decisions for non-BPD conditions should rely on clinical expertise and patient preference.
