Compassion Focused Therapy Groups: Evidence from Routine Clinical Practice
Overview
This paper evaluates a transdiagnostic Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) group designed to address shame and self-criticism in adult mental health services. The study includes quantitative and qualitative data from 13 participants who completed the intervention, reporting statistically significant improvements in self-compassion and reductions in self-criticism alongside positive feedback. It concludes that such groups are feasible and acceptable for clients with various psychiatric diagnoses, while noting the need for further research on participant attrition.
