Abstract

Beck’s (1979) cognitive behavioural therapy and Young’s (1980) schema therapy was used as a framework for intervention with a client in primary care that presented with a history of depression and childhood abuse. This case study focuses on providing a succinct overview of the schema model and its application in a long-term therapeutic relationship. The initial assessment and schema case conceptualisation is presented, followed by a summary of sessions, including interventions and difficulties encountered with the client. Attempts at overcoming obstacles are discussed and an evaluation of the counselling process is provided. Although extensive analysis of dynamics in the alliance go beyond the remit of this case study, efforts have been made to provide a review of therapist and client development on a content and process level in relation to counselling practice.
