Compassion-focused therapy as guided self-help for enhancing public mental health: A randomized controlled trial.
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) delivered as guided self-help for improving well-being among adults with low to moderate baseline levels. The study compares a CFT intervention group against a waitlist control group, measuring outcomes such as anxiety, depression, stress, and self-compassion at baseline, post-intervention, and up to nine-month follow-ups. Results indicate that participants receiving guided self-help CFT demonstrated significant improvements in well-being and psychological distress measures compared to the control group, with benefits maintained or amplified over time.
