Full Description
This book aims to explore the application of Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) within international contexts, acknowledging the nuances of mental health and well-being across different regions. By integrating principles of compassion with cultural sensitivity, it offers a comprehensive guide for mental health professionals to effectively address the needs of clients based in various regions of the world. Through case studies, research findings, and practical interventions, this book illuminates how CFT can be tailored and adapted to resonate with the values, beliefs, and norms of different cultures, ultimately promoting greater inclusivity and effectiveness in therapeutic practice.
Applications of CFT are known to be numerous. Therapists using CFT may employ a range of therapeutic techniques, such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral experiments, and role-playing exercises, to help clients develop self-compassion and overcome diverse psychological difficulties. Educators also employ CFT-informed exercises to protect student wellbeing.
CFT has been receiving increasing attention from researchers, practitioners and educators globally. However there has not been a textbook that introduces international perspectives to how CFT helps mental health. Considering the global interest of CFT, it is an unmet need of people who are interested in CFT. This textbook can meet this need.
