Goals
Components in the course are:
Working with therapy phases for the treatment of these patients;
Establish and strategically use an idiosyncratic mode model/case conceptualization in treatment;
Learning to recognize and work with typical Cluster C modes;
Break through the avoidance;
Work with patient on motivation for change;
Learning to leave the responsibility for the change to the patient in good time;
Teach the patient to deal constructively with responsibility, guilt, loyalty and anger.

Content
Schema therapy has been shown to be effective in treating borderline (BPD), narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders, and cluster C-PD.

Cluster C-PS are characterized by excessive anxiety, control, or inhibition. The symptoms result from a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors such as upbringing and events during growing up.
In particular, the rigid nature of this type of PD ultimately makes schema therapy more frustrating than expected.
Treating patients with cluster-C PD is just as complex as treating people with BPD. They have developed successful coping for a short time and often come to therapy to get rid of their condition, not their coping. The severity of Cluster C problems is often underestimated. There is often chronic depression, somatically insufficiently explained physical complaints and burnout. The course serves as a starting point for the 50 hour model developed and researched by Arnoud Arntz.

Methods
In the workshop, the Cluster-C mode model as well as mode-specific treatment strategies will be presented by means of lectures and work with cases by the participants and practiced by the participants in role play in guided small group work. Participants have the opportunity to bring their own cases and discuss related issues.
