Abstract

Research suggests that individuals who commit crimes often exhibit various early maladaptive schemas (EMSs). EMSs are a broad and pervasive theme or pattern consisting of memories, emotions, cognitions, and bodily sensations concerning oneself and one's relationships with others. Furthermore, EMSs play a crucial role in the onset and maintenance of different types of offending behaviors, highlighting the need to implement schema therapy (ST) for perpetrators. Therefore, the present systematic review assesses the effectiveness of ST for individuals who committed crimes. Four databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Scielo) were searched for studies examining the effectiveness of ST for individuals who committed crimes. Seventeen studies were identified, but only 15 met the criteria for inclusion. Results showed that ST can lead to beneficial effects in EMSs, schema modes, personality symptoms, and risk factors to commit crimes (e.g., cognitive distortions). However, the studies, besides being scarce, revealed some methodological limitations. ST is a promising therapy for individuals who committed crimes, despite the studies' methodological shortcomings, which prevent us from drawing more firm conclusions. Although promising, more research is needed to enhance our understanding of the impact of ST therapies in forensic settings.

模式疗法对犯罪者的疗效：系统回顾

研究表明，犯罪的人通常会表现出各种早期适应不良图式（EMS）。EMSs 是一种广泛而普遍的主题或模式，由有关自身和与他人关系的记忆、情感、认知和身体感觉组成。此外，EMS 在不同类型犯罪行为的发生和维持过程中起着至关重要的作用，这凸显了对犯罪者实施模式疗法（ST）的必要性。因此，本系统综述评估了模式疗法对犯罪者的有效性。我们在四个数据库（PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science 和 Scielo）中搜索了有关 ST 对犯罪者有效性的研究。共找到 17 项研究，但只有 15 项符合纳入标准。研究结果表明，ST 可以对 EMS、模式模式、人格症状和犯罪风险因素（如认知扭曲）产生有益的影响。然而，这些研究除了数量少之外，还暴露出一些方法上的局限性。尽管这些研究在方法上存在缺陷，使我们无法得出更确切的结论，但 ST 是一种对犯罪者很有前景的疗法。尽管ST疗法前景广阔，但我们仍需开展更多研究，以加深我们对ST疗法在法医环境中的影响的理解。
