One of our goals is to work on further developing Schema Therapy through research and writing. Until now, we have cooperated with colleagues from the Universities in Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia and Macedonia with whom we worked on examining the associations between Early Maladaptive Schemas or Schema Modes and:
- Variety of symptoms
- Family functioning
- Parenting styles
- Attachment
- Societal trauma
- Empathy
- Personality traits
The tests that we have and use
- Basic needs questionnaire
- YSQ–L3 Young Schema Questionnaire – Long Form, 3rd Edition
- YSQ-S3 Young Schema Questionnaire – Short Form, 3rd Edition
- SMI – 1.1 Schema Mode Inventory
- YPI Young Parenting Inventory
- YRAI Young – Rygh Avoidance Inventory
