Author(s) : Nicola Petrocchi, Author(s) : James Kirby, Author(s) : Beatrice Baldi

Reviews and Endorsements

This book will be quite valuable for clinicians who practice any psychotherapeutic modality. Incorporating compassion-focused techniques is essential for individuals who suffer from undue self-criticism which undermines their sense of well-being.
Judith S. Beck, PhD, President | Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Clinical Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania

Research showed compelling data, the clinicians intuitively knew that enhancing compassion could be an essential part of any kind of psychotherapy, but there was one missing piece of the puzzle: a structured, step-by-step guide to CFT. It has been years in the making - and now we have it. It is wonderful. Thank you so much! This book will certainly become a vital resource for any therapist, and any researcher not only in the field of mindfulness-based psychotherapy.

Compassion Focused Therapy is a unique, evidence-based model of therapy that systematically cultivates the healing resource of compassion. The authors have themselves contributed significantly to the evolution of CFT. In this long-awaited volume, they integrate the key elements of CFT into a well-organized, comprehensive treatment manual. Innovative, practical and inspiring, I hope it lands on the desks of all clinicians!
