International Society of Schema Therapy e.V. (ISST) · The workbook label Certified Schema Therapist maps to ISST's individual schema therapy certification, with Standard and Advanced levels. The verified assessment pathway uses supervised clinical practice, session recordings and case conceptualization ratings; it is not presented by ISST as a standalone written examination. The public requirements are titled 2021 ISST Requirements for Certification as a Schema Therapist (Individual), V. 2.0, applicable to training begun on or after 2021-09-01. The separately published curriculum page carries a historical 2019 heading and remains linked by ISST; its curricular organization is identified explicitly below rather than described as a newly issued 2026 examination blueprint.

This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
