Integrating Existential Perspectives into Schema Therapy: A Conceptual Framework with Clinical Illustrations
Overview
This theoretical paper proposes a framework for integrating existential psychotherapy concepts, such as meaninglessness and death anxiety, into schema therapy. It combines a narrative literature review with composite clinical vignettes to illustrate how existential concerns interact with early maladaptive schemas and modes. The resource is intended for clinicians seeking to address existential suffering in patients with complex psychological disorders through enhanced meaning-making and identity integration.
