Define Schema Therapy and critically evaluate the evidence for it as an effective treatment for borderline personality disorder. What might the cultural limitations of such an intervention be?
– describe the important results from primary literature articles: compare related studies, identify trends and overall findings supporting the efficacy of the intervention for the chosen population/psychological disorder of interest (Borderline Personality Disorder)
– Critically evaluate the literature that identifies that the specific intervention may not be effective in targeting the specific psychological disorder or mental health needs of the population of interest.
– Identify major inconsistencies, limitations, or methodological issues of associated studies in the area.
