Effectiveness of Self-Compassion Related Therapies: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of self-compassion-related therapies, such as compassion-focused therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, on self-compassion and psychopathology in clinical and subclinical populations. The authors analyzed data from 22 randomized controlled trials involving up to 1172 participants to assess changes in self-compassion, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Results indicate that these therapies improve outcomes compared to control groups, though no significant differences were found when compared specifically to active control conditions.
