Young Schema Questionnaire

Young schema Questionnaire is a series of questions which is devised to analyze and treat people with personality disorders, chronic depression, and other difficult individual and couples problems. It is attributed to psychotherapist Dr. Jeff Young and assimilates aspects of cognitive therapy, behavior therapy, object relations, and gestalt therapy into one composite and methodical approach.
