A Case Report of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) for a Japanese Patient with Recurrent Depressive Disorder: The Importance of Layered Processes in CFT
Overview
This case report details the application of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) for a Japanese female patient with major depressive disorder and suicidal ideation who did not respond to cognitive behavioral therapy. The authors describe the patient's recovery and return to social interaction, attributing this outcome to specific CFT components such as psychoeducation, compassionate imagery exercises, and the therapeutic relationship. The resource is intended for clinicians interested in cross-cultural applications of CFT or treatment-resistant depression.
