3-S Therapy

 

Spiritual Self Schema Therapy
Spiritual Self-Schema (3-S) Therapy is a manual-guided intervention for increasing motivation for HIV prevention that integrates a cognitive model of self within a Buddhist framework suitable for people of all faiths.  3-S Therapy is based on the premise that motivation for HIV prevention can be increased by drawing upon clients’ spiritual beliefs and religious faith, and by strengthening a self-schema that is fundamentally incompatible with drug use and other HIV risk behavior.
