International online learning hub
for “Schema Therapy with Children, Adolescents & Parents (ST-CA)” presented by the IST‑K Schema Therapy Cologne
SCHEMA THERAPY WITH CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS & PARENTS (ST-CA).
Schema Therapy (ST), developed by Jeffrey Young, is an enhancement and development of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). ST integrates emotions, but also developmental aspects centrally in their diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. In addition, ST is based on a model of schemas, modes and the basic needs and “their fate” during the life course. Therefore, ST — in terms of technical and strategic variant of CBT – seems to be also and especially in the field of child and adolescent therapy particularly suited to generate action-guiding, diagnostic and therapeutic concepts.
The concept of Schema Therapy with children, adolescents and parents was substantially developed by Christof Loose and Peter Graaf and is supervised by Christof Loose in Cologne (Germany) since 2013. The Practioner’s Guide of ST-CA in English was published in 2020 by Loose, Graaf, Zarbock & Holt. It presents the ST-CA model and provides a clear, practical guide to clinical implementation.
You can learn more about ST-CA with “Felix and his Modes”, a video wherein Christof explains ST-CA with the story of a child, named Felix, and “Empathic Creativity in Schema Therapy”, a short video wherein Christof gives an insight into the process how to learn and apply ST-CA. Or you ca have a look at “What to do when Tom is feeling blu?” or “What to do when Sophie is feeling blu?”, two videos which explain boys or girls the mode model.
More videos, e.g. about the ST-CA training, you can find on the website www.schematherapy-for-children.de.
‚Learning by Playing’ is a game about Schema Therapy in general, but also about Schema Therapy for Children, Adolescents and Parents (ST-CA). With the help of ‚Learning by Playing’ you can expand, deepen, and consolidate your learned knowledge that you have gathered from your experiences but also from the courses, trainings, seminars, workshops, and/or supervisions about ST and ST-CA in particular.
If you are interested in an overview about the empirical evidence for ST-CA you can have a look in an articel of Christof.

INTERNATIONAL ONLINE LEARNING HUB IN ST-CA
In the past few years Christof Loose held workshops and seminars teaching ST-CA worldwide. Unfortunately, this is currently not possible due to the Corona-Pandemic. Therefore, the IST‑K (Institute of Schema Therapy Cologne) has offered the complete basic training in ST-CA in cooperation with Christof Loose in English language several times since 2020. This enabled colleagues from all over the world to get to know this intense and creative way of therapeutical work. We would like to expand this offer with Special Interest Workshops, considering age and/or disorder specific therapeutical interventions.
The high quality of Christofs workshops is reflected in the evaluation of 10 years of training.
Accreditation by ISST e.V.
Unless announced otherwise, all workshops are preparing for the international certification as a “Schema Therapist ST-CA” by the ISST e.V.. Detailed information regarding the requirements for the certification in ST-CA are provided under Certification.
