Schema therapy (ST) has recently been shown to be effective against chronic personality problems of various mental disorders, including personality disorders.

RESULTS: Following the intervention, a significant reduction in early maladaptive schemas and improvements in quality of life and social adjustment were observed. ST may be feasible and is applicable to young adults with HF-ASD.
