Schema Therapy for Overcoming Intergenerational Trauma in Forced Migrants

This article examines the application of schema therapy in combination with genogram analysis to reduce intergenerational trauma in forced migrants. The study addresses the issue of negative beliefs transmitted from older generations to younger ones. The novelty of the research lies in the comprehensive examination of historical factors that have influenced the social adaptation of these groups. The text provides an analysis of existing developments in migration psychology. The collected data confirm that inherited patterns of anxious perception reduce the ability to establish connections within a new community. The study describes mechanisms for involving family members in the therapeutic process, explores family histories, and analyzes clinical recommendations and expert experiences. The aim of the research is to demonstrate that combining targeted interventions for inherited beliefs with practices that activate internal resources contributes to the more successful integration of forced migrants into a new environment. To achieve this goal, comparative and analytical methods were used. The conclusion outlines promising directions for therapeutic support for families in high-vulnerability zones. This material is intended for psychologists, migration sociology specialists, and the academic community. The proposed conclusions are based on a review of literature sources.
