    Schema therapy model is an integrated therapy school that includes cognitive, behavioral, experiential, interpersonal and psychodynamic types, developed in the 1980s for the treatment of chronic mental problems for which traditional cognitive behavioral therapy could not provide adequate solutions. According to schema therapy, the main reason for the development of psychopathology is early maladaptive schemas. The main goal of the therapy process is to get to the root of the problem and reduce schematic processing dominated by early maladaptive schemas. Schema therapy model has emerged as one of the most preferred therapies in the treatment of depression in recent years. Depression is thought to occur due to dysfunctional coping mechanisms. The treatment part aims to overcome dysfunctional coping mechanisms and change maladaptive schemas through experiential techniques. In this section, the definition and history of schema therapy, early maladaptive schemas, maladaptive coping styles, and the place of schema therapy in the treatment of depression will be explained.
