유식의 번뇌심소를 활용한 심리도식치료 연구

Abstract

This study compares Jeff Young’s schema therapy with Yogacara Buddhism to reveal that studying the basic defilements and secondary defilements can increase the mindfulness ability of the client while receiving psychological therapy. Schema therapy(ST) has a view that most personality disorders stem from unmet emotional needs during childhood. The perspectives of the Yogacara system and Schema therapy can be seen to be similar in that both see that a schema or self obstinacy already established in the mind causes psychological problems. Schema Therapy viewed the 18 types of schemas as a life trap for human psychological problems. Yogcara also considers that ordinary people are confined in the conceptual projection and the world of one hundred mental factors(dharmas). According to ST, Schemas are learned and internalized through experience, and the individual responds in the form of submission, avoidance, and overcompensation as a coping method to defend the schemas. Yogacara Buddhism insists that meditation practice is central and the the practice of mindfulness of body, feelings, thoughts and dharmas in oneself and others, out of which a revolutionary and radically transformative understanding of the non-duality of self and other arises. Schema therapy helps clients to understand that their dysfunctional schemas were caused and they should free from the schemas’ influences. Similarly, Yogacara helps practitioners to see and reflect things just as they are, impartially, without exclusion, prejudice, anticipation, attachment, or distortion. This study was to investigate how the theory of the two systems can be used clinically for psychotherapy and what is realistically possible. This study demonstrates that by adding the study of the mental defilements which Yogacara explains to the basic treatment process of schema therapy, it is possible to develop the client's insight into the workings of the mind and increase the effectiveness of treatment.
