“Suddenly you are King Solomon”: Multiplicity, transformation and integration in compassion focused therapy chairwork.
Overview
This paper examines how Compassion-Focused Therapy utilizes chairwork to address self-criticism through the lens of self-multiplicity. Based on interviews with twelve participants diagnosed with depression, the study identifies themes related to differentiating internal selves and integrating them via compassion. The authors discuss how mental imagery facilitates this process, allowing clients to observe and transform their internal critical dialogue.
