“…The EASs mentioned above have also been hypothesized to fall under four broad categories associated with fulfilled core emotional needs, and are labeled Connection and Acceptance, Healthy Autonomy and Performance, Reasonable Limits, and Healthy and Realistic Standards, respectively (see supplemental Table S1[All supplemental tables are available in online version of the article. ]; Lockwood & Perris, 2012; Louis & Louis, 2015; Young et al, 2003). These four adaptive categories are counterparts to the four higher order maladaptive categories for EMSs associated with unmet core emotional needs categories and are labeled Disconnection and Rejection, Impaired Autonomy and Performance, Impaired Limits, and Exaggerated Expectations.…”

“…The EMSs and their associated copying styles become pathological when they become fixed ways of viewing and acting within the world that are not amenable to later environmental changes or disconfirming evidence of the underlying beliefs. An interaction between the degrees to which these core emotional needs are not met, a child’s temperament, cultural influences, environment, and the quality of the parents’ (or primary caregivers’) relationships with each other are believed to determine the severity of the EMSs (Louis & Louis, 2015; Young et al, 2003). Therefore, early parenting patterns that either meet or do not meet these core emotional needs adequately are believed to contribute significantly to the development of a broad range of EASs and EMSs, respectively (Lockwood & Perris, 2012).…”

“…EMSs are defined as broad, pervasive themes comprising emotions, cognitions, memories, bodily sensations, and distorted beliefs about one’s self and others. It is believed that as parents fall short in their effort to meet a child’s core emotional needs, these experiences, in interaction with the child’s temperament, are major factors in the development of these EMSs (Lockwood & Perris, 2012; Louis & Louis, 2015; Young et al, 2003).…”

The factor structure of an initial item pool of 207 positive parenting items was investigated (Manila; n = 520, 538) to develop the Positive Parenting Schema Inventory. Single group and multigroup confirmatory factor analyses of the Positive Parenting Schema Inventory showed invariance of the factor structure in six out of the seven levels on two other independent samples (Eastern, Indonesia; n = 366, 383; Western, the United States; n = 204, 214). Good values for reliability were obtained for its seven subscales (50 items) using coefficient omegas (.71 to .95). Evidence of validity based on test content, response processes (item responses to desired inferences), internal structure (exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses), relations to other variables (correlations with other instruments), and consequences of testing (correlations with positive schemas) were demonstrated. A core tenet of schema therapy theory was supported in that recall of past positive parenting patterns were associated with current levels of positive schemas.

“…Schema therapy has considerable empirical support [ 6 ] for the underlying model and its efficacy in treating adults with disorders ranging from depression [ 7 ] to personality disorders [ 8 , 9 ], including those with borderline features [ 10 – 12 ]. An early intervention schema therapy-based parenting program has been authored and designed, known as Good Enough Parenting (GEP) [ 13 , 14 ]. It is aimed at the prevention of psychopathology before it develops, as well as the promotion of resilience and healthy functioning.…”

“…It is rooted in the empirically supported schema therapy model which forms the basis of the well validated schema therapy interventions. Good Enough Parenting is referenced in several recent articles exploring key constructs in schema therapy [ 15 – 17 ]; there is a professionally developed program to train facilitators and trainers [ 14 ], and there is a book written for the general public describing the program [ 13 ]. Increasingly, Good Enough Parenting is being accepted and used internationally based on the perceived fit with stakeholder needs and its apparent popularity amongst participants.…”

Background and objectives Schema therapy (ST) has become a mainstream therapy for the treatment of psychopathology and has been validated through a series of large scale, international randomized control trials. Among other things, schema therapy emphasizes the meeting of core emotional needs in children by primary caregivers as these unmet needs continue to adversely affect their lives into adulthood. An early intervention parenting program has been developed to help parents meet these core emotional needs in order to prevent the development of psychopathology in the first place. The program, Good Enough Parenting, is equally focused on reducing problems and strengthening parenting practices, regardless of where the child is on the “disordered to well-being continuum”. This study aims to explore “patient experience” by users of this program. Best clinical research guidelines advocate that participants should be used as collaborators rather than pure recipients; this process should predate large scale trials. Design An exploratory qualitative study with 55 parent-participants of Good Enough Parenting was conducted. Methods One-to-one interviews were conducted with participants, using critical incident technique and guided by semi-structured interview schedule, to explore their experiences with the program. Transcripts were then analyzed using thematic analysis. Results Coding showed a high degree of inter-rater reliability (kappa value of 0.78). The themes that emerged were Cultivating Awareness of Parents’ Own Schemas, Cultivating Intentionality, Working through Developmental Issues, Responses to Challenges at Home, Performing Multiple Roles, and the Learning Process. Participants overwhelmingly reported satisfaction within these key themes. Conclusions The results support the development of the program and the choice of “participant reported outcome measures” for use in subsequent randomized controlled trials.

Parental separation or divorce and adulthood attachment: The mediating role of the Abandonment schema

This study investigated whether the Abandonment schema mediates the relationship between a history of parental separation or divorce and attachment styles in adulthood. Participants (N = 426; M age = 30.78 years) completed online measures, using Qualtrics. Results demonstrated that a history of parental separation or divorce was positively associated with anxious and avoidant attachment styles in adulthood.Mediation analyses revealed that the Abandonment schema mediated these relationships (p < 0.001). This suggests that adults with a history of parental divorce or separation are more likely to report anxious and avoidant attachment styles, and this is partially accounted for by an expectation that they will be abandoned by others.These findings have implications for case formulation and can be used to inform treatment. Schema therapy focused on healing the Abandonment schema could promote attachment security in individuals with a history of parental separation or divorce. For example, limited reparenting (i.e., the therapist seeking to meet the client's unmet emotional needs, within the professional boundaries of the relationship), could be tailored to address the individual's underlying unmet need for security and stability. Further research is needed to advance our understanding of the implications of these findings for treatment.
