Schema Therapy Cards - Deck Of 43
Purchase Now – AU$49.00
We've created a deck of 43 cards that will assist anyone who is using Schema Therapy. These cards include:
- 22 maladaptive schema cards
- 15 adaptive schema cards
- 6 needs cards
The maladaptive schema cards give a description of the schema, common beliefs and associated schema modes. On the reverse, the cards show the Healthy Adult Response with reframed thoughts and behaviours for getting your needs met.
The adaptive schema cards give a definition of the schema and examples of healthy beliefs relating to this positive schema. On the reverse, there is a skill to practise to strengthen your adaptive schema.
The needs card list examples of when needs are met or unmet in childhood and how these relate to the development of adaptive and maladaptive schemas.
These cards can help patients to focus on the schemas that relate to them, without being overwhelmed by the full list of 20. The three decks of cards are connected, so you can lay out the process from maladaptive schema and unmet need, and then flip the cards over to show Healthy Adult with met needs. The skills give a reminder of how to increase positive schemas for the Healthy Adult.
Shipping is available internationally. These cards are only available in hard copy.
What makes Schema Therapy different from traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
Schema therapy is a form of psychotherapy that blends elements from cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic concepts, and emotion-focused therapies. It was developed by Dr. Jeffrey Young and is particularly effective in treating personality disorders and chronic mental health issues.
Here’s a comparative table showcasing how schema therapy provides a more integrated and emotionally deep approach, particularly suited for more complex cases, while CBT offers a structured, problem-solving approach that is widely applicable for a variety of psychological issues.

"It is very clear and valuable, notwithstanding that I've worked with schema modes for a long time. A picture says more than 1000 words."
– New Paths Psychology
"Wow. Referred to this by my therapist. I cant believe it has taken so long to really understand what is going on. The concise explanation of the interrelated modes was fantastic"
– Timothy H
"Despite having [the schema and schema mode cards] only a short while, I've found them really helpful for myself to formulate for my patients - it's been great not having to hold it all in my head, but rather see it out in front of me. I've also found explaining schemas and modes to patients a lot easier, having received some great feedback already from my patients."
– Sharon
"Thank you for sharing! This is great!"
– Kamila T
"A really clear and concise overview. Great use of visuals. Thank you.
