SUMMARY:Child and Adolescent Curriculum of Schema Therapy (ST-CA)
DESCRIPTION:Rakhawy Institute for Training and Research (RITR)\nInternational Society for Schema Therapy (ISST)\nSchema Therapy Institute East Switzerland (ISTOS)\nChild and Adolescent Curriculum of Schema Therapy (ST-CA)\n(8 days, in total 48 hrs) (Online Workshop)\n \nDate: \n1st Introductory workshop\nFriday 19th December 2025\nFriday 16th January 2026\n2nd Workshop focus: ST for Children & Adolescents – ST for Parents\nFriday 6th February 2026\nFriday 27th March 2026\nFriday 3rd April 2026\n3rd Workshop focus: ST for Parents & Schema Therapeutic Case Conceptualization\nFriday 24th April 2026\nFriday 16th October 2026\nFriday 6th November 2026\nTime: \n13:00 PM – 20:00PM\nAbout workshop: \nSchema Therapy (ST) developed by Jeffrey Young is an enhancement and further development of cognitive behavioral therapy as well as psychodynamic psychotherapy, and particularly integrates emotions, but also developmental aspects centrally in their diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. In addition, ST is based on a model of schemas, modes and the basic needs and “their fate” during the life course. Therefore, ST – as an integrated approach with cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and developmental roots – seems to be also and especially in the field of child and adolescent therapy particularly suited to generate action-guiding, diagnostic and therapeutic concepts.\nIn total 8 workshop days of the “Children’s Curriculum”, first the schema therapeutic conceptual model (schemas, modes, coping strategies), the underlying theory (central importance core needs in the context of developmental tasks), possible diagnostic means (eg, projective methods) and requirements in the therapeutic attitude (eg, concept of “limited reparenting” and “empathic confrontation”) are outlined, put on the ground of temperament and personality factors in childhood and adolescence. However, in the center of the workshop series are training and practice units, encompassing schema therapeutic strategies that have proven successful in childhood and adolescence. Another focus is laid on the teaching of advanced and deepened work with parents in terms of “Schema Coaching” or “Systemic Schema Therapy“ that include schema or mode specific transactional processes between child and parent and shed a light on mutual reinforcement’s processes of child’s und parent’s maladaptive schemas. Last but not least the basic principles of ST-CA in groups are outlined.\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop‘s Name\ntotal\ndidactic\ndyadic\n\n\nST-CA Days\n1 – 2\nChildren’s Curriculum Workshop 1 Introductory Workshop\n12hrs*\n9 hrs\n3 hrs\n\n\nST-CA Days\n3 –  5\nChildren’s Curriculum Workshop 2 Focus: ST for Children & Adolescents; ST for Parents (1)\n18 hrs\n12 hrs\n6 hrs\n\n\nST-CA Days\n6 – 8\nChildren’s Curriculum Workshop 3 Focus: ST for Parents (2) and Schema Therapeutic Case Conceptualization\n18 hrs\n12 hrs\n6 hrs\n\n\n\nIn total\n48 hrs\n33 hrs\n15 hrs\n\n\n\n* 1 hour =60 minutes\nChild and Adolescent Curriculum in ST-CA\nChild and Adolescent Curriculum Unit 1 (“Introductory Unit”)\n2 days, 12 hours, 60 min each (16 TU – teaching units, 45 min each)\nThe introductory workshop illuminates the formation and perpetuating model of maladaptive schemas against the background of age-specific developmental tasks, risk and protective temperamental factors. Related to the children’s age the 18 schemas described by Young are outlined with their typical child and adolescent appearance and coping strategies. Other topics include the multimodal diagnostic techniques (use of exploration, survey, imagery, case conceptualization) and explain the significance of the therapeutic relationship, psychoeducation and empathic confrontation.\nReview of the contemporary concepts and research results on the Physical, Cognitive and Social-Emotional Development of both Children and Adolescents provides a wider understanding of the manifestation of needs and emotional reactions in young patients.\nAs an overview therapeutic strategies are demonstrated: Working with drawings and pictures, mode-based play therapy, working with stories, finger and hand puppets, metaphors, chair work, imagery, templates, the use of flash cards and homework.\nAn important part of the introductory workshop is to work with parents, which is also outlined in an overview. Contents are typical parental mode constellations, mode cycle flash cards, investigation of parental schemas and modes, and the practical implementation in mode work with parents (working with chairs, templates, wooden figures, drawings, etc.).\nBeside the introductory in schema theory the workshop offers many practical demonstrations by picture and video material, and small exercises allow the participants transferring the content into their own practice.\nChild and Adolescent Curriculum Unit 2\n3 days, 18 hours, 60 min each (24 TU – teaching units, 45 min each)\nFocus: Children and Adolescents (12 hrs, 16 TU) and Schema-Coaching for Parents (6 hrs, 8 TU)\nThis unit of 3 days is based upon the content of the introductory unit  (WS 1), whose participation is a prerequisite for the immersion workshops (WS 2 to 3).\nException: Participants, who attended an 2-day introductory course for adult’s Schema Therapy (Individual) or any ST course equivalent to this, can join in directly in the children’s curriculum with unit 2 here.\nThe goal of this unit is to learn the techniques of schema therapy with children and adolescents specifically. Additionally, there will be an introduction into the work with parents. Special attention is paid to the specific problems facing adolescents today: suicide as the 2nd cause of deaths in adolescents, alcohol, drugs, unprotected sex, eating disorders, gender dysphoria, bullying, cyber bullying, peer pressure, etc. Also important to separate maturational issues from behavioral problems.\n Note:\nArabic translation will be available during the training to facilitate understanding and participation for all attendees.\nException: Participants who have attended a two-day introductory course in psychodrama for adults, or an equivalent course, may join this module directly.\nRegistration Fees\nEarly Registration (before December 6):\n\nEgyptians:\n\nIndividual: 8 training days – $700, 6 training days – $580\nGroups of 3 participants: 8 training days – $650, 6 training days – $530\n\n\nNon-Egyptians:\n\nIndividual: 8 training days – $800, 6 training days – $670\nGroups of 3 participants: 8 training days – $745, 6 training days – $625\n\n\n\nLate Registration (after December 6):\n\nEgyptians:\n\nIndividual: 8 training days – $750, 6 training days – $640\nGroups of 3 participants: 8 training days – $700, 6 training days – $595\n\n\nNon-Egyptians:\n\nIndividual: 8 training days – $900, 6 training days – $800\nGroups of 3 participants: 8 training days – $840, 6 training days – $745\n\n\n\nPayment Information for the Workshop:\nTo facilitate registration and participant convenience, the payment system is as follows:\n\nFor Egyptian participants:\n\nFirst installment: Paid in Egyptian Pounds upon registration, calculated based on the USD exchange rate on the day of payment.\nSecond installment: Paid in USD before the start of the third workshop.\nPayment division: The total fee is split equally between the two installments.\nNote: Participation in the third workshop is not allowed without completing the second installment.\n\n\nFor non-Egyptian participants:\n\nFull payment in USD.\nThe amount may be divided into two equal installments if needed.\n\n\nPricing:\n\nWorkshop fees are determined according to early registration before December 6 and late registration after December 6, for both Egyptian and non-Egyptian participants, individually or in groups of 3.\n\n\n\nFor more information:\nWhatsApp: 01091373865\nTel: +20225080818 / +20226677740\nE-mail: info@rakhawyinstitute.org ( mailto:info@rakhawyinstitute.org )\nChild and Adolescent Curriculum in ST-CA\nAfter a brief connection with the schema theoretical introduction and sharing of some experiences in practice (WS 1), the focus will be laid on the features of the particular therapeutic relationship, including the concepts of limited reparenting, empathic confrontation and practical working with the special schema therapeutic techniques.\nVideo examples and role-play in groups of two or three participants ensure the consolidation and deepening of what has been learnt. In particular, the content and methods are:\n\nWorking on close relationships with children and adolescents\n\n\nWorking with finger and hand puppets\nImagery\nUse of flash cards and homework\nWorking with storytelling (e.g. ‘stem stories)\n\nThe first part of the parental work includes:\n\nTherapeutic relationship with parents: “Limited Grandparenting”\nInvestigation of parental resources, needs and family structures\nTesting of questionnaires\nEducation of the schema and mode concept in the context of parenting with exercises in groups\n\nBeside the features of schema theory the workshop offers many practical demonstrations by picture and video material, and small exercises allow the participants transferring the content into their own practice.\nChild and Adolescent Curriculum Unit 3\n3 days, 18 hours, 60 min each (24 TU – teaching units, 45 min each)\nFocus: Schema-Coaching for Parents, Case Conceptualization and more specific techniques\nThis unit is based upon the content of the introductory and immersion workshop (unit 1 and unit 2), whose participation is a prerequisite for this immersion unit (WS 3).\nThe goal of this unit is to learn the techniques of schema therapy with parents (continuation of unit 2) and to apply the schematic therapeutic approaches to their own cases. After a brief connection with the theory of unit 1 and unit 2, the focus will be laid on the features of the work with parents including practical exercises. The parental mode work with chairs, finger puppets, templates, imagery, schema and mode flash card, internal dialogue and schema diary are the central point of the first day of unit3.\nThe second part of the parental work includes: (first part was in WS 2):\n\nCreating a schematic therapeutic and systemic disturbance model\nAdjustment of the parental schemas and modes\nMode feedback among family members\nCollusion of schemas and modes among the therapist and the patient (child/parents)\nUsage of parental Mode-Cycle-Clash-Cards\n\n \nChild and Adolescent Curriculum in ST-CA\nCase Conceptualization:\nCase studies of the participants and role play in groups of two or three participants ensure the deepening of what has been learnt. After the case presentation in the plenary, participants work out in small groups the schema therapeutic case concept and treatment plan to this patient and his family. Based on already implemented schematic therapeutic treatment techniques progress and problems in the used interventions are discussed. In the last unit participants will learn, how to follow the schema therapeutic approaches in the context of self-awareness, self-disclosure and supervision groups.\nThe following content (including practice) will be covered in the second and third day of this workshop:\n\nIllustration of the basic approach to case conceptualization\nConceptualization and treatment planning for their own cases\nSchema therapeutic supervision, self-experience and certification\nSpecial problems in the therapy\nMode-oriented play therapy\nWorking on the “Inner House”\nWorking with therapeutic board games\nApplication of art-therapy techniques\nBasics of ST-CA in Groups (e.g. Training in Self-Assertiveness)\n\nLITERATURE: \nSCHEMATHERAPY FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: \nLockwood, G. & Shaw, I.A.
