Our Schemas and Mental Wellness - Do you need to acquire more schemas? - Part 1 - a podcast by Dr BB

The origin of schemas was first introduced in 1923 by developmental psychologist Jean Piaget.  He suggested that during cognitive deveolpment we utilized schemas to help us learn, understand and manage the world around us.  Dr BB further explains Piaget's idea that different schemas are supposed to be mentally applied in appropriate situations to help people both comprehend and interpret information.  However,  if not applied appropriately, and more importantly, if we are not aware of our own prejudices, or maladaptive schemas, the danger is they can very well hinder the way we perceive others and the world.
