Cinema in the past and today; has many purposes such as giving social messages, raising awareness, conveying what individuals avoid or cannot see. Plots and characters in the cinema are the mirror of society. Therefore, even the smallest detail in the movie gives important clues in the direction of social, cultural and psychological fields. The importance of this article is that it combines cinema, a branch of art that reflects the society, with the schema therapy approach, which is closely related to and effects the society. In the study; the film analysis method was used within the framework of the Schema Therapy Model. This research was examined in accordance with the document analysis method, which is one of the qualitative research types. According to this method, Issız Adam is the subject of psychological analysis. The selection of this film is that it is in accordance with the Schema Theory in which the analysis will be made. Scenes containing maladaptive schemas, schema origins and schema coping styles were discussed and analyzed within the framework of theory. The movie Issız Adam is about the story of the main characters, Alper and Ada, unable to unite despite their intense love for each other. In the movie, Alper has fears and avoidance of intimacy due to the abandonment scheme. Whereas Ada has the emotional deprivation scheme and tries to compensate for her emotional emptiness by choosing partners who have the potential to leave her. In this article, it is aimed to analyze the attitudes of the characters who avoid intimacy due to their negative beliefs about romantic relationships in line with their past experiences, in the direction of Schema Therapy. Researchers who will carry out a similar study; In order to improve the scope of the study, it is recommended to mention the schema modes, and to be more descriptive for the readers, it is recommended to add a table to indicate the minutes in which the schemas in the movie appear.
