Schema theory is developed for patients with chronic psychological problems who have not achieved significant success in cognitive therapy. Although this approach has been applied mostly to personality disorders, it can also be a useful treatment for depression disorder. Therefore, the aim of this study is to show whether or not schema therapy is effective in the treatment of recurrent major depressive symptoms. This single-case experimental study is carried out with the method of multiple baseline on six patients who are all diagnosed with primarily a DSM-IV recurrent depression disorder. Patients are tested in four points in time; pre- treatment, in the 4th session, the 8th session, and the 12th session (post- treatment). Instruments used are Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Short Form of Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ) and Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorder (SCID-I). The findings show that schema therapy plays a role in improving the symptoms of recurrent depression disorder and early maladaptive schema during the treatment. The results of the present study indicate that schema therapy could be effective in treating recurrent depression disorder. Thus, by identifying depressive schemas, they can be treated and reformed with interventions focused on the schema.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of schema therapy in decreasing the maladaptive schemas of women with social anxiety disorder. The research method was a single-case experimental design with multiple baselines. Five patients were selected using purpose sampling method. They attended in 20 sessions of therapy individually according to Young's schema therapy model. The instruments used in this study were tests of social anxiety and Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ: long form). The improved diagnostic method and clinical significance were used for analyzing the data. The results showed that Young's schema therapy model reduced the activity of the early maladaptive schemas significantly in all areas of schemas. The results of follow-up showed the treatment had been persistent and effective. The Young's schema therapy model can be used for the treatment of chronic mental disorders that early maladaptive schemas play a primarily role in their persistance.

The aim of the present research was to study the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and attitude about mate selection as well as to determine the contribution of each schema in creating attitude in college students. This was a descriptive (correlation of prediction) kind of research. Early maladaptive schema domains were as predictor variables and attitude about mate selection domains were as criteria variables. Research sample was in the form of cluster sampling in which 122 students responded to Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ) and Attitude about mate selection questionnaire. In this research, statistical method of correlation and regression analysis with step by step method was utilized. Findings showed that all domains of early maladaptive schemas in students have meaningful positive correlation with attitude about mate selection domains. Finding of regression indicated that entitlement/superiority and abandonment schemas are capable of predicting attitudes about mate selection in college students.
