“…Within a pre-post design (with repeated measures during treatment), a medium treatment effect on the reduction of depressive symptoms, dysfunctional schemas, and schema modes was found, which was comparable to results previously found in adults [38]. Interestingly, this study demonstrated that the reduction in symptoms was mediated by a change in dysfunctional schemas, which supports the effectiveness of schema therapy for older adults [35••].…”

Empirical research focusing on personality disorders (PDs) among older adults is mainly limited to studies on psychometric properties of age-specific personality tests, the age neutrality of specific items/scales, and validation of personality inventories for older adults. We identified only two treatment studies-one on dialectical behavior therapy and one on schema therapy-both with promising results among older patients despite small and heterogeneous populations. More rigorous studies incorporating age-specific adaptations are needed. Furthermore, in contrast to increasing numbers of psychometric studies, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-5 pays little attention to the characteristics of older adults with PDs. Moreover, the constructs "personality change due to another medical condition" and "late-onset personality disorder" warrant further research among older adults. These needs will become even more pressing given the aging society worldwide.

“…It is known that EMSs are correlated with symptoms of distress and the presence of personality disorder in general (Nordahl, Holthe, & Haugum, 2005). There are also suggestions that changes in schema domains and BPD symptomatology mutually reinforce each other (van Vreeswijk et al, 2014). However, our knowledge and understanding of the association between individual EMSs and BPD symptoms such as selfharm or suicidal behaviour remain limited.…”

The present study aimed to examine which early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) and schema modes emerged in parasuicidal and non-parasuicidal patients with BPD participating in the Oulu BPD study. The patients' EMSs were assessed using the Young Schema Questionnaire, and schema modes using the Young Atkinson Mode Inventory. Sixty patients with BPD responded to both the schema and schema mode questionnaires; of these, 46 (76.7%) fulfilled the criteria for parasuicidality. In BPD patients with parasuicidality, the EMSs of emotional deprivation, abandonment/instability, mistrust/abuse and social isolation were the most prevalent, and the schema modes of vulnerable child, angry child, detached protector and compliant surrender were prominent. In patients without parasuicidality, the schema modes of healthy adult and happy child were the most prevalent. Significant correlations were observed between the schema modes of detached protector, vulnerable child, punitive parent and angry child and almost every EMS in BPD patients with parasuicidality. Our preliminary findings suggest that associations between certain EMSs and schema modes to parasuicidality in BPD patients may provide valuable information when planning and implementing their treatment.

“…Within the clinical domain, the intentional induction of change specifically regarding the emotional evaluation of the self-concept content is the goal of several therapeutic methods. Cognitive therapy, for instance, aims at changing the maladaptive emotional content of the self-concept towards more adaptive emotional content and its evaluation (Hofmann, Asmundson, & Beck, 2013;Vreeswijk, Spinhoven, Eurelings-Bontekoe, & Broersen, 2014). In addition, interventions such as mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (Kuyken et al, 2010;Williams & Kuyken, 2012) are targeted to overcome self-generated, habitual negative thinking patterns (Killingsworth & Gilbert, 2010;Ruby, Smallwood, Engen, & Singer, 2013).…”

Who am I? Differential effects of three contemplative mental trainings on emotional word use in self-descriptions

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In a large-scale longitudinal mental training study, we examined whether learning different contemplative practices can change the emotional content of people's self-concept as assessed through emotional word use in the Twenty Statement Test. During three 3-month training modules, participants learned distinct practices targeting attentional, socio-affective, or socio-cognitive capacities, or were re-tested. Emotional word use specifically increased after socio-cognitive training including perspective-taking on self and others, compared to attentional and socio-affective compassionbased trainings, and retest-controls. Overall, our findings demonstrate training-induced behavioral plasticity of the emotional self-concept content in healthy adults and could indicate greater emotional granularity. These findings can inform future interventions in mental health, given that alterations in self-referential processing are a common contributing factor in psychopathology.
