Compassion  Focused Therapy: Clinical Practice and Applications offers  evidence-based guidance and extensive insight into the science behind  compassion focused therapy.

The first section of the book  explores the evolution and physiological infrastructures of caring, and  how compassion arises when humans use their complex cognitive  competencies to address suffering deliberately and intentionally. With  this framework and basis, the next sections of the book explore CFT  applied to groups, specific interventions such as chair work, the  importance of applying the principles of the therapy to oneself, the CFT  therapeutic relationship, and a chapter offering a systematic review of  the evidence for CFT. The third section offers a series of  multi-authored chapters on interventions for a range of different mental  health problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and many others.

Being  the first major clinical book on compassion focused therapy, with  leading international researchers and clinicians addressing central  problems, this landmark publication will appeal to psychotherapists from  a variety of schools as well as being a vital resource for compassion  focused therapists.
