Young's model. We analyzed the relationship of early maladaptive schemas and coping styles of avoidance and overcompensation. We also examined the differences in the intensity of schemas in terms of gender and type of addiction and we were researching schemas with the highest overall scores in our clinical sample of patients with different addictions. We confirmed that early maladaptive schemas are in positive relationship with coping styles of avoidance and overcompensation. We also found out that there are schemas that prove to be dominant in the group of addict patients (schemas of self-sacrifice, hypercriticalness, and punitiveness). The differences in the intensity of the schemas relative to gender were found in only two domains, namely in the domain of impaired autonomy and performance and the domain of other-directedness. We did not find any differences in the schema intensity due to the type of addiction.
