SCHEDULE 

Schema Therapy was originally conceived as a treatment for disorders that were more chronic than symptom-based conditions.  Persistent depression has been distinguished from major depressive disorder based on differential etiological factors that can also predict treatment outcome.  In this talk, these factors will be reviewed.  Strategies used in Schema Therapy will be examined to the extent that they target these crucial mechanisms.   In addition, Schema Therapy will be compared to other evidence-based treatments for persistent depression (RO-DBT & CBASP) and the practice similarities and differences will be highlighted.  This review will then lead to a focus on what clinical interventions Schema Therapists might best focus on.
