Updates to the Young Schema Questionnaire - Revised (YSQ-R)
Updating schema assessment for clearer clinical formulation.
A conversation about making assessment clinically useful.
The Young Schema Questionnaire has shaped schema therapy for decades. But if we want a sharper formulation, we need a sharper assessment tool.
In this conversation with Dr Rob Brockman, I discuss the YSQ-R, the thinking behind the update, and how clearer scoring can help clinicians move from questionnaire results to meaningful clinical formulation.
This is not just about a scoring tool.
It is about using the data thematically to actually help us understand the person in front of us.
