This clinical multiple case study seeks to expand the knowledge of how schema therapy could function as an intervention for difficult-to-treat depression. The study will explore in depth the course of a 30 session treatment with schema therapy conducted over approximately one year on three individual patients at two different psychiatric treatment sites. Together, the data from this study will inform about the feasibility of schema therapy for difficult-to-treat depression as well as form the base for recommendations in adapting schema therapy for this particular patient group.
