"Schema Therapy has been shown to be significantly more effective than traditional treatments for a broad range of personality disorders, contributing to real recovery, not just symptom reduction" 

The International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST) is the member organization committed to the principles and practice of schema therapy. Bringing together a community of clinicians, researchers, educators, and supporters from throughout the world, ISST provides standards of excellence for the practice of schema therapy, including trainings, workshops, research, and certifications.
