EventsMASManagement Advisory Servicewww.mas.org.uk

Schemas - vignettes or scenes based on experiences

Schemas contain a context, actions and a way of responding

The schemas that we use daily mostly occur at a semiconscious level

Occasionally something changes and then we are placed on alert

Personal Features:Observations

- It is difficult for us to survive on our own- We act in relation to the context- We find controlling ourselves difficult- We often mask our thoughts and feelings- We find controlling others difficult- We judge others by their behaviour and what they say- We are good at false attributions

- We are hugely successful!
