Abstract: | According to Young, perception, emotion, and behaviour depend significantly on schemas acquired during childhood. While often functional in childhood (e.g. attachment, obedience/subjugation), these schemas are maladaptive for adults. Psychotherapy uses schemas to explain and treat maladaptive emotions, thoughts, and actions. In this study, 100 psychotherapy patients were investigated using the validated Danish version of Young’s schema questionnaire YSQ. Moreover, duration and progress in the psychotherapy were considered. 50 controls, healthy or at least not in psychotherapy, served as a reference. The hypothesis that especially three schemas are connected to later psychotherapy was fully confirmed: self-sacrifice, unrelenting standards, and approval seeking, were significantly higher in the patient compared to the control group. The cross-sectional character of the study and missing longitudinal data allow only cautious consideration of causality. Nevertheless, the present data show a strong relationship between unhealthy cognitive schemas and being in psychotherapy for a stress-related condition, the first time in a large Danish sample. Consequences for society are discussed and prospects for future research are given. |
