The effectiveness of compassion focused therapy with clinical populations: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) for clinical populations by synthesizing data from fifteen randomized controlled trials conducted between 2013 and 2022. The resource reports that CFT interventions were associated with improvements in self-compassion, self-reassurance, and various clinical symptoms compared to waitlist controls, though it notes limitations regarding study quality and participant gender distribution. This overview is primarily intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the current evidence base for third-wave therapeutic interventions.
