What is a schema?... Perhaps you are one of those people who have heard the word "schema" and the question has arisen, what is a schema?... Aristotle, Plato and Kant were among the first scientists to talk about schema, but the first formal theory on this subject was presented by Piaget in 1923.... He defined the schema as **a type of mental structure** that adapts itself to new data and situations.... Around 1924, Bartlett in his book called (Remembering) pointed out the types of schemas and the relationship they establish with memory, and finally Geoffrey Young, who is a contemporary psychologist, introduced a schema therapy approach as his psychotherapy as schema therapy.. Field.
In a way, it can be said that schemas force us to behave and react based on a series of certain stereotypes and classify the new information we receive from the surrounding environment based on them. The origins of creating personality schemas - **How ​​parents deal with children's emotional needs** - ** Child's mood ** Domains of primitive incompatible schemas Young and his colleagues have identified 18 primary maladaptive schemas in 5 domains, which are briefly mentioned in this section: ### Cutting area: It is expected that the individual's needs for safety, health, stability, support, empathy, acceptance, and esteem are not satisfied in a stable manner.. Primary maladaptive schemas associated with this domain are: abandonment/instability, mistrust/mistreatment, emotional deprivation, deficiency/shame, and social isolation/alienation... ### Self-management domain and poor functioning: The person has a firm belief that he cannot do his task independently or in any case he cannot seem successful, and this leads to a feeling of inadequacy in him.. The primary maladaptive schemas associated with this domain are: dependence/incompetence, vulnerability to loss, being trapped, and failure... Basically, this domain describes people who have a weakness or inability to function internally, a weakness or inability with responsibility, a weakness or inability to function internally.. Long-term goals... The primary maladaptive schemas associated with this domain are: Entitlement/Great Secretary, Inadequate Self-Control, and Self-Discipline... ### Domain Another orientation: This domain indicates an extreme emphasis on satisfying the needs of others instead of one's own needs. The primary maladaptive schemas associated with this domain are: obedience, acceptance/attention, and sacrifice. pessimism, and rigid standards... 3rd ed., respectfully) The more extreme the schema, the more situations that can trigger it. For example, if a person was severely and consistently criticized by their parents as a child, they are likely to have a defective schema for dealing with almost anyone. 8 general and common characteristics of early incompatible schemas ### Absolutism: A set of fixed beliefs, thoughts and judgments that have been formed in us since childhood or adolescence in an absolute and unassessed way about ourselves or others... ### Repeated: Through our biased judgments as well as the maladaptive coping behaviors we have toward them, such as avoidance, overcompensation, and submission, they perpetuate themselves and contribute to their survival... ### Predictable: We predict events based on them, or we actually make our predictions come true, and with the trick of schemas, we think we have the ability to predict events and control the situation.... ### Resistant to change: It includes memories, some emotions and feelings that are deeply embedded in the unconscious part of our mind since childhood and are difficult to change.... ### Production of irrational thoughts and cognitive errors: Irrational thoughts such as generalization, extreme exaggeration, absolutism and... ### Extreme sensitivity to events and stress: We constantly monitor life's threats and even predict our negative feelings when threatened.. Traps are also activated during tensions, which we interpret as threats... ### Familiarity and habit: Since we grew up with them from childhood, we judged life experiences based on them and adapted ourselves in such a way that we eventually got used to them and became attached to them, so they are a familiar experience to us. It's an old familiarity that might hurt us, but we're more comfortable with it! ### Activator of strong emotions: including feelings such as fear, anxiety, embarrassment, guilt, despair, restlessness, etc., the message of schemas - Abandonment/Instability: Please don't leave me alone.... - Dependence/Inadequacy: I can't handle my problems alone.... - Isolation/Social Alienation: I don't fit in with the crowd.... - Emotional Deprivation: No one can understand me.... - Deficiency/Shame: I'm a worthless person.... - My sacrifices are more important than what I do: Parental support.... - Punishment: I shouldn't enjoy my life Take it!.. - Mistrust/Abusiveness: I can't trust anyone.... - Emotional Inhibition: I shouldn't express my feelings in any way.... - Stubborn Standards: I'm never satisfied with anything.... - Vulnerability to loss: There's always an accident.... - Acceptance/Attention Seeking: I'm valuable when others approve of me.... - Insufficient self-control and my lack of discipline: Lack of discipline in my life.... to achieve everything I want I have.... - Failure: I feel like I have failed in my life.... - Obedience: I always have to follow the wishes of others.... - Negativity/Pessimism: Bad things always happen to me in life.... Schematic attraction Many of us humans choose people based on our own schemas, schemas, and neural pathways that make a partner attractive and attractive to a person. Schemas create errors and biases in our perceptions, evaluations, and reactions.. When we choose a partner who is similar to the important people in our life, it gives us a familiar feeling that we think we know this game, for example, when we prefer to think more. In this article, we tried to introduce you to the schema and its types.... Each schema causes us to have certain beliefs and behaviors. Conflicting schemas usually cause many problems in life... The important thing is that the intensity of schemas is much more important than their number. For example, a person may be involved in 10 schemas in a mild form and live a normal life, while a person has only 2 schemas in a severe form and his functioning in life is completely impaired. If you feel that you are caught in one of these traps, we suggest you benefit from psychological counseling **Victory Center Specialist** to take a step on the road to recovery and succeed in getting rid of your schema.
