Description
Compassion Conceptualisations, Research and Use in Psychotherapy by Paul Gilbert explores how compassion may have evolved and its link to capacities such as sympathy, empathy, forgiveness and warmth. This book examines the effects of early life experiences and outlines how developing compassion for self and others can be key to helping people change and recover. International contributors explore integrative evolutionary, social constructivist, cognitive and Buddhist approaches to compassion, highlighting how therapists can bring compassion into their therapeutic relationship and its healing effects. The book also provides detailed outlines of interventions that are of particular value to psychotherapists and counsellors interested in developing compassion as a therapeutic focus. This book is of value to both psychotherapists and social scientists interested in pro-social behaviour, offering insights into the development of inner warmth and compassion to alleviate psychological problems.
