Overview
This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness and acceptability of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) across various clinical populations. The authors note that CFT shows promise as a transdiagnostic treatment, particularly in group formats lasting at least 12 hours. The resource highlights high acceptance among clients and clinicians while calling for standardized manuals to improve future research methodology.
