“…A recently developed, promising strategy is Accelerated Resolution Therapy ( Finnegan et al., 2016 ), an evidence-based approach for trauma-related conditions, which contains a variety of therapeutic ingredients delivered in a modular fashion (i.e., imagery rescripting, memory reconsolidation, guided visualization with use of eye movements, desensitization and processing of distressing memories, and in-vivo exposure to future feared triggers). The key target of this type of therapy is the present experience and story of the individual rather than the symptoms experienced.…”

Mourning is a coping-with-loss stage that prevents grief from becoming pathologic, i.e., complicated grief (CG) syndrome and persistent complex bereavement disorder (PCBD), recently included in international classification systems. During the COVID-19 pandemic, to contain virus spread, several countries adopted/adopt the prohibition of mourning rituals (funeral ceremonies/visiting to cemeteries), so that people were/are unable to give their hospitalized relatives the latest goodbye. Such measures can lead vulnerable individuals to develop CG and PCBD. We critically discuss literature-based risk factors for and protective resources against the onset of these conditions since the start of the pandemic and analyze prevention strategies to inform public health programs.

“…It is somewhat surprising that the recommended therapies for PTSD in the Veterans Affairs System-prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy-have not yet been examined for their effects on CP among those treated for PTSD. A newer PTSD intervention, however, which integrates exposure, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma imagery rescriptingaccelerated resolution therapy 30 -was shown in a randomized clinical trial (RCT) among military personnel with PTSD to yield large reductions in both PTSD symptoms and pain intensity. 48 In civilian motor vehicle accident survivors with PTSD and CP, 3 RCTs tested trauma-focused CBT, which combines education, exposure, and self-regulation skills.…”

“…There are over 40,000 US organizations that provide programs and services to veterans, however, it is not known if these programs address SC (Vogt et al, 2020). Nevertheless, a focus on the importance of selfcare and compassion is encapsulated in all forms of MH therapies (Finnegan et al, 2016).…”

There is evidence to suggest that self-compassion is related to positive health and wellbeing outcomes, therefore, this paper explores this concept within the military veteran population. The aim of this review was to identify research and explore the evidencebased of self-compassion as a protective factor, from negative health outcomes, amongst military veterans. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews guided the undertaking and reporting of this review. Databases (CINAHL, EBSCO, MEDLINE, PsycInfo, SocINDEX, Web of Science), manual searches of grey literature, websites, and reference lists of retrieved articles, were explored to identify peer-reviewed English language studies published from 2000 to 2019. Searches included any study that measured self-compassion or involved self-compassion education/training. A narrative synthesis was utilized. Searches retrieved 89 articles; 17 studies met the inclusion criteria. All studies were conducted in the US and included veterans, with three also including partners. There was heterogeneity between studies' designs, methodologies, and characteristics. Of these studies, 11 examined associated factors, eight measured improvements in health or well-being outcomes, and six reported feasibility and acceptability of self-compassion strategies. Self-compassion seems to be particularly beneficial for veterans who have experienced trauma, suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, trauma-related guilt, depression (or at risk of suicide), and for those who have been in combat and deployed. Limited evidence was found for Schizophrenia and alcohol misuse. Self-compassion appears to have a protective role with positive outcomes for mental and physical health in veterans, in particular for traumarelated psychopathology symptoms.
