“…The effectiveness of ST reported in these studies included improved function and quality of life, reductions in personality disorder symptoms, and global severity of psychopathology. These findings have led to the growing use of GST worldwide to evaluate its effectiveness with other disorders: Avoidant personality disorder and social phobia (Baljé, Greeven, et al, 2016); Cluster C (Bachrach & Arntz, 2021); eating disorders (Simpson et al, 2010); mixed personality disorder (Skewes et al, 2015); complex trauma (Younan et al, 2017); and geriatric clients with personality disorders (Videler et al, 2014). Preliminary data suggest that GST is an effective treatment, which may be more cost‐effective and widely implementable than individual treatment.…”

This article presents an adaptation of group schema therapy (GST) developed for patients with severe anxiety. An anonymized case presentation exemplifies the adaptation. GST was originally developed to treat clients with maladaptive personality traits but has been applied to a variety of disorders in recent years. For patients with severe anxiety, who have not responded to other treatments, GST may be a promising approach. The paper presents the GST model, the evidence supporting it, and its adaptation for the treatment of anxiety. The case presentation illustrates the therapeutic process and GST interventions. Finally, the clinical outcome and the implications for implementing GST are discussed.

“…The effectiveness of ST reported in these studies included patients having improved function and quality of life, reductions in PD symptoms, global severity of psychopathology, and remission in PD for a majority of patients. Such findings have led to the growing use of ST as well as pilot studies and additional RCTs underway worldwide to evaluate its effectiveness with other disorders (avoidant PD and social phobia; Baljé et al, 2016), mixed PD groups (Simpson et al, 2015), complex trauma (Younan et al, 2017), depression (Renner et al, 2016), geriatric clients with PDs (Videler et al, 2014) and dissociative identity disorder (Huntjens et al, 2019). ST can be adapted to varying lengths of treatment.…”

The account of Kelly's therapy (Edwards, 2022b), and the commentaries by Singer (2022) and Margolin (2022), each, in different ways, highlight the significance of multiplicity, and the importance of understanding it, for the practice of psychotherapy. For several decades, many approaches to therapy have recognized and provided guidelines working with this multiplicity (Hermans & DiMaggio, 2004; Kellogg & Young, 2006; Lazarus & Rafaeli, in press; Rowan & Cooper, 1999; Schwartz, 1997; Stiles, 2011; Teasdale, 1999; Watkins & Johnson, 1982). Schema therapy is an integrative therapy that draws freely on these historical traditions, while offering its own distinctive framework for using multiplicity in case conceptualization for a wide variety of clinical phenomena (Edwards, 2022a). Examination of processes within cases treated within this framework provides the opportunity to further develop and synthesise clinically grounded theory, and, as Edwards (2022b) argued, it is increasingly possible for that practice to be grounded in a scientific understanding of the systems of memory and learning that underlie the client’s experience, drawing on the significant advances in our understanding of autobiographical memory systems. This article continues to explore this idea by responding to the commentaries on the case study of Kelly by Singer and Margolin.
