2 schemas of impaired limits
entitlement / grandiosity
insufficient self-control / self-discipline
6 characteristics of Impaired Limits
patient has inadequate boundaries,
feelings of responsibility and
frustration tolerance.
Not good at setting realistic long-term goals,
difficulty working with others,
comes from family who gave a sense of superiority to world.
3 schemas of Other-Directedness
Subjugation
Self-sacrifice
Approval-seeking / recognition-seeking
Other-Directedness meaning

subjugation meaning
patient gives herself over to the will of others to avoid negative consequences. Patient thinks that her desires, opinions, and feelings are not cared for by others which leads to pent-up rage.
4 schemas of Overvigilance and Inhibition
negativity / pessimism
emotional inhibition
unrelenting standards / hypercriticalness
punitiveness
Overvigilance and Inhibition meaning
patient suppresses her spontaneous feelings and needs and follows her own set of strict rules and values at the cost of self-expression and relaxation. Family emphasized achievement, perfection and repression of feelings. Caregivers were critical.

clarification-oriented psychotherapy characteristics of therapeutic relationship 4
- nondirective as to content, directive with regard to process
- no focus on meeting the patients unmet childhood needs but on helping patient become aware of dysfunctional ways in which basic needs are expressed
- no psychoeducation
- Rogerian therapy conditions are necessary
schema therapy for personality disorder findings
revealed consistently that schema therapy is superior to treatment as usual and clarification-oriented psychotherapy.
exercise-based schema therapy training was superior to lecture-based training
exposure optimization strategies
3
expectancy violation
deepened extinction
occasional reinforced extinction
and others…
pavlovian conditioning model
neutral stimulus (conditional stimulus, CS) is followed by an aversive stimulus (the unconditional stimulus, US)
after pairings, the neutral CS will elicit fear reactions (conditional response, CR)
powerful way to reduce conditional fear reactions is through…
extinction
conditional fear shows spontaneous recovery, meaning…
strength of CR increases in proportion to the amount of time since end of extinction.
how to offset negative effects of spontaneous recovery of CR
an exposure model that takes elements of inhibitory learning into account
goal is to enhance inhibitory learning
expectancy violation
exposures that maximally violate expectancies regarding the frequency or intensity of aversive outcomes
the more expectancy can be violated the greater the inhibitory learning
