Interpersonal schemata in child psychotherapy: a cognitive-interpersonal perspective
1Department of Psychology, University of Denver, CO 80208-3306, USA.
Abstract:
Presents a cognitive-interpersonal framework for child psychotherapy derived from attachment theory. Interpersonal schema, conceptualized as expectations regarding others' probable responses to the self, are posited as a key mediating mechanism linking past interpersonal experience with current social-emotional functioning, and as an important target for intervention. Three schema-based models of pathogenic process are examined: preemptive information-processing, schema-triggered affect, and schema-primed interpersonal and emotion-regulation strategies. Implications for assessment of and intervention with interpersonal schema are considered. Preventive, compensatory, and remedial intervention strategies are proposed.
