Abstract:
In Schema Therapy (ST) for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) patients the empty chair technique (EC) is often used to diminish the ‘punitive parent mode’ (PP). The research utilized a counterbalanced, crossover design comparing one EC session to one CT session in twenty patients with a primary BPD diagnosis who had started ST. Before and after each intervention we assessed credibility, power, and valence of the PP-associated core belief and how much power patients felt over this core belief (dominance). Both techniques reduced power and credibility of the PP-associated core belief and increased dominance. A complex technique was tested early in treatment and only once, effects might be different later in treatment and when applied repeatedly.
