A brief compassion focused therapy intervention can help self‐critical parents and their children: A randomised controlled trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates a brief two-hour Compassion Focused Therapy intervention designed to reduce self-criticism in parents and improve their children's social and emotional outcomes. The study involved 102 parents who were assigned to either the therapy group or a waitlist control, with assessments conducted at baseline, two weeks post-intervention, and three months later. Results indicated that participants in the CFT group experienced significant reductions in self-criticism and child behavioral problems immediately after the intervention, with further improvements observed at the three-month follow-up.
