Theoretical Orientation:
Dr. Schrag’s therapeutic orientation to treating families and individuals integrates psychodynamic psychotherapy with family systems theory. His treatment with couples is most influenced by the theories and practice of Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Therapy, Salvador Minuchin’s Structural Family and his years of teaching the skill training PAIRS course to couples. In addition to the above, where appropriate, Dr. Schrag draws on his knowledge of cognitive therapeutic techniques to enhance the effectiveness of treatment. Further, Dr. Schrag studied mindfulness meditation with Jon Kabat Zinn and when applicable, applies mindfulness techniques as an adjunct to his work with clients.
