| Abstract: | Introduction Previous research shows promising results about treating personality problems with schema therapy. Modes, a focus point of schema therapy, and symptoms significantly decrease during inpatient treatment. Previous researches also show a relation between these decreases, but did not research specific symptoms. The goal of this research is therefore to gain insight in a possible relation between the change in symptoms and the change in modes. Results Every category of complaints decreases significantly between the pre-treatment measurement and the follow-up measurement. The majority of the categories already decrease significantly between the pre-treatment measurement and the intermediate measurement. The remaining categories start to decrease after the intermediate measurement. Lastly, four of nine categories show an increase between post-treatment measurement and follow-up measurement. There is a relation between the change in specific symptoms and the change in specific categories of modes. There are differences. Discussion Results of this research partly correspond with the results of previous research. However, the difference that is made here between the different categories of symptoms of psychopathology, does make a difference in results. This could possibly be explained by reviewing the different modes, which could also be a recommendation for future research. A recommendation for clinical practice follows the recommendation that is done by Wolterink & Westerhof, in focusing treatment on modes. Then again, psycho-education as an addition to treatment, could also be helpful. |
