Soothing the injured brain with a compassionate mind: building the case for compassion focused therapy following acquired brain injury *
Overview
This chapter outlines the rationale for applying Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) to address psychological distress, particularly shame and self-criticism, in individuals with acquired brain injury. It introduces CFT's key components and evidence base while noting special considerations for this population and including a case example. The text highlights that research on self-criticism post-ABI is currently sparse compared to non-brain injured populations.
