Summary
Schema therapy is often characterised by its focus on maladaptive processes, healing and managing the painful and maladaptive aspects of a client’s presentation (e.g. Vulnerable Child, Detached Protector). While this may be accurate to a large extent, Jeff Young, in his seminal book, also outlined the importance of two positive modes that often require development during schema-based treatment: The Healthy Adult mode and the Happy Child mode. This chapter provides updated definitions of the Healthy Adult and Happy Child modes, before describing a therapeutic approach to building and inducing these modes for client well-being and self-regulation.
