ABSTRACT
As mentioned in Chapter 8, although “view of self, others, and the world and life” are strategically useful in understanding clients and in helping clients to understand themselves, core schemas are best communicated back to clients in a holistic theme that one might call a client’s “story.” It is as though a client is saying, “Because I see myself as , and other people are and the world is , therefore I’m having difficulty with this issue (e.g., a relationship, set of circumstances, unexpected event(s), need to change, or life demand).” We expand on this to provide practical strategies for using information about schemas.
