ST of Children with Conduct Disorders, Aggressive & Self-Harming Behaviors by Maria Galimzyanova & Elena Romanova |
Abstract: Julia Laanemets Individual ST treatment of a 10 year old boy with conduct disorders at school. A case study illustrates individual ST treatment of a boy with conduct disorders. Therapy was recommended to the boy by the school authorities, as he had gained a reputation of a problematic student and the mother was advised to transfer him to a specialized school for children with educational and social disabilities. After the parent’s divorce father has moved to another country, maintaining a very irregular contact with his child, that, in it’s turn, contributed to the development of a Schema of Abandonment/Instability and a subsequent aggressive behavior at school. During 15 individual ST sessions, storytelling and play-therapy techniques were used. Mode work with figures (making an “Inner-Mode-Team”) helped to externalize his aggression towards his classmates (Angry and Bully and Attack modes), understand the origins of his academic problems (strong Impulsive Mode). As it was hard for him to admit and accept his Vulnerable Mode, it was rea treated by the therapeutic storytelling techniques. Mode-work helped him to become aware of the mode triggers and understand his role in producing conflicts. His mother attended schema-coaching sessions. ST work helped her to learn to meet her son's needs. Also observation work was carried out at school and a round table for teachers was held. Teachers and school staff also made several changes in their work to help the child to socialize better. As a result of a 0,5 year ST work, situation at school was significantly stabilized, the boy gained a new friend, his school performance became better. The boy obtained the skills of understanding and expressing his emotions, venting his tension and anger, and using relaxation techniques Natalia Shilnikova Individual and family ST work with a boy of 11 years old with impulsive and aggressive behavior at school A case study illustrates individual and family ST treatment of a boy with impulsive and aggressive behavior at school. Boy’s Defectiveness/ Shame and Emotional Deprivation Schemas were the main sources of the extremely destructive Angry Protector Mode that contributed to his aggressive behavior at school. The boy himself was bullied at school – classmates provoked him due to his high impulsivity and extreme reactions to criticizm. Starting from the early age, he suffered from his mother’s neglect, (as after his birth his mother paid maximum attention to his twin brother and ignored and neglected the client’s needs). Father left the family and it worsened the situation. Mother’s schemas of Unrelenting Standards and Emotional Deprivation were aggravated and it caused her severe asthenic depression. During 25 sessions of individual ST play therapy and behavioral pattern-breaking was used. Initially the boy learned to define the feelings, connect feelings to behavior, defined and named his feelings and modes, found a toy for each mode. He united his feelings and schema modes, creating a "City of feelings". It became visible, that the rapid flipping to the "Helpless" mode and a lack of support from the Wise Mode activated a "Furious" and "Revenge" Modes. Also a strong Punitive Critic Mode got triggered and it reinforced the above mentioned modes. Mode role-plays, “Mode conferences”and Mode dialogues were held in individual ST. The boy’s mother was engaged in schema coaching and in the play therapy process. Schema Therapy board game "Journey through the Modes Valley" was used with the whole family during the ST family sessions. As a result, his attitude to classmates and behavior at school has changed significantly This case study illustrates the effectiveness of schema therapy, schema coaching and family work in treatment of destructive aggressive behavior.
