This is a list of maladaptive schemas, often called early maladaptive schemas, in schema therapy, a theory and method of psychotherapy.
An early maladaptive schema is a pervasive self-defeating or dysfunctional theme or pattern of memories, emotions, and physical sensations, developed during childhood or adolescence and elaborated throughout one's lifetime, that often has the form of a belief about the self or the world.
[1] Yalcin, Lee & Correia (2020) did a primary and a higher-order factor analysis of data from a large clinical sample and smaller non-clinical population.
[2] The higher-order factor analysis indicated four schema domains—emotional dysregulation, disconnection, impaired autonomy/underdeveloped self, and excessive responsibility/overcontrol—that overlap with the five domains (listed above) proposed earlier by Young, Klosko & Weishaar (2003).
The primary factor analysis indicated that the emotional inhibition schema could be split into emotional constriction and fear of losing control, and the punitiveness schema could be split into punitiveness (self) and punitiveness (other).
