Free resource | New Schema Therapy Case Conceptualization Form – Approved by the International Society for Schema Therapy (ISST)

Recently, the ISST (this is the peak international body for schema therapy, and well worth joining;) released an updated Schema Therapy Case Conceptualization Form (Version 2.22) for those pursuing individual accreditation.

This form is great, and very detailed. If you have not used this form before, we highly recommend it, especially with patients who you may feel stuck with.

Going back and working on a detailed formulation usually uncovers some blind spots that could blow open the case.
