“…There is empirical research supporting the effectiveness of schema therapy and the role of schemas in various psychological problems. Zhang et al (2023) conducted a systematic review and a meta-analysis study to evaluate the efficacy of schema therapy in treatment of personality disorders. The results supported schema therapy's efficacy in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.…”

This study investigates the structure of Young’s early maladaptive schemas, core emotional needs, and their associations with psychopathological symptoms. Early maladaptive schemas and psychopathological symptoms were assessed in three clinical samples from Turkey (N1 = 1312, N2 = 999, N3 = 999). First-order Principal Component Analysis (PCA) identified 17 schemas, eight of which closely mirrored Young's original schemas. A second-order PCA revealed four schema domains: Impaired Autonomy, Disconnection, Impaired Limits, and Overvigilance. Confirmatory Factor Analyses were employed on distinct samples to compare the PCA model with alternative models, and the PCA model exhibited superior fit across various indices. The study reveals varying relationships between schemas and diverse psychopathological symptoms, providing nuanced insights for tailoring psychotherapeutic strategies and interventions. Symptoms related to interpersonal sensitivity had the strongest connections to schemas, and the factor representing vulnerability to harm and pessimism schemas had the most number of strong connections with psychopathological symptoms. While the study sheds light on the schemas in a Turkish context, future research is essential to validate these findings and explore the predictive aspects of schemas. In essence, this research contributes to understanding of schemas within the Turkish cultural context and its implications for clinical practice.

“…The concept of schema therapy, developed by Jeffrey E. Young [1], has been developing at a very fast pace over the past 30 years. There is an increasing amount of data on the effectiveness of interventions in different groups of patients, no longer only patients with borderline and narcissistic personality disorder (at whom this therapy was aimed at the beginning [2]), but also patients with other types of personality disorders [3] and different kinds of psychopathology such as depressive disorders, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, eating disorders, schizophrenia, and alcohol-and cocaine-dependence [4][5][6][7][8]. The interventions are effective in both individual and group work formats [9,10].…”

(1) Background: Schema therapy and working with schema modes is increasingly popular. Since there is no validated tool to measure schema modes in Poland, in this study, we present an assessment of the psychometric properties of the Polish version the Short Schema Mode Inventory (SMI) adaptation. (2) Methods: First, the original version of the scale was translated. Subsequently, a validity and reliability study was conducted on a sample of 240 patients and 400 non-patients. In particular, the factor structure of the inventory was checked, internal reliability and intercorrelations between subscales were tested, differences between the clinical and non-clinical groups in terms of the severity of each factor were examined, and construct validity was assessed by comparing the association of results with external variables. (3) Results: The results did not conclusively confirm the 14-factor structure postulated in the original scale. Nevertheless, the relatively best fit indices were obtained for such a model. The internal reliability for the 14 subscales ranged from 0.74 to 0.95 (McDonald’s omega). Correlations between subscales demonstrated values from 0.03 to 0.72. The existence of differences between the clinical and non-clinical groups and the construct validity were confirmed. (4) Conclusions: The psychometric evaluation performed is mostly similar to the results obtained for other adaptations, and the results justify the inventory being used for research and clinical purposes when knowledge of its limitations is included.

“…Research has confirmed the effectiveness of some evidence-based psychotherapies such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT; Hernandez-Bustamante et al, 2023) and schema-focused therapy (SFT; Zhang et al, 2023) in treating patients with BPD. Transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) is another effective therapy for treating people with BPD.…”

The purpose of this rapid review was to investigate the effectiveness of transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) in treating people with borderline personality disorder. This research was carried out considering the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guideline and recommendations of the Cochrane Review Groups. A total of 240 articles were assessed, of which 119 duplicates were initially excluded. Subsequently, 101 articles were removed after "title screening" and "abstract screening." Finally, the remaining 20 articles were evaluated using the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials statement checklist and Jadad Scale, leading to the inclusion of 13 articles in the final analysis. Most of the selected articles were randomized clinical trials. There were no male participants in five articles, and most participants were female in other articles (except for one case). The duration of treatment was 1 year in most of the articles (total range: 11-36 months), with the treatment being performed twice a week in most cases. The review showed that TFP was effective in various domains such as object relations, treatment, psychodynamics, neurology, psychopathology, and other psychological variables. Therefore, it is concluded that TFP can be used efficiently in the treatment of people with borderline personality disorder. Public Significance StatementThis rapid review investigates the effectiveness of transference-focused psychotherapy in treating patients with borderline personality disorder can help psychotherapists improve their services quality to this group of patients.
