Compassion Focused Therapy Groups: Evidence from Routine Clinical Practice

Abstract: ObjectivesPsychological therapy groups for people in adult mental health services can relieve waiting list pressures and potentially reduce stigma and social isolation. Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) focuses on shame and self-criticism. The aim of this study was to evaluate a transdiagnostic CFT group.DesignQuantitative and qualitative data were obtained from 13 people who completed the group.MethodsParticipants completed a range of pre- and post-group self-report outcome measures that assess self-criticism … Show more

“…Within the current climate, encouraging trans‐diagnostic group work is argued to increase the therapeutic staff–patient relationship by reducing depersonalization and the sense of criticism felt within the patient setting (Berry et al, 2016; Janner, 2006). Whilst the evidence base for inpatient group work is limited, the literature available is suggestive of the important role trans‐diagnostic group work may play in increasing the quality of care and creating a positive therapeutic environment for recovery work (Berry et al, 2016; Heriot‐Maitland Vidal et al, 2014; Holmes, 2002; McManus, Tsivos, Woodward, Fraser, & Hartwell, 2018).…”

“…Although adopting a transdiagnostic approach to mental health presentations, much of the research into these interventions involves traditional symptombased outcome methodologies. As such, these approaches are evidenced in improving symptoms in specific diagnostic populations as well as those presenting with co-morbidity (ACT: Arch et al, 2012;Thesiko et al, 2015;CFT: Frostadottir and Dorjee, 2019;McManus et al, 2018), further supporting the concept of transdiagnostic processes as primary treatment targets. These models stipulate differing transdiagnostic maintenance factors, with ACT hypothesising psychological inflexibility as a primary maintenance and treatment target (Hayes et al, 2006), and CFT hypothesising an imbalance in affect regulation systems with self-criticism and shame primary factors in maintaining a threat response (Gilbert, 2009).…”

“…Both received supervision from a clinical psychologist experienced in working with the CFT model. In common with previously published evaluations of CFT-based groups in routine clinical practice (e.g., McManus et al 2018), the group programme was developed by the facilitators based on existing CFT group literature and published protocols (Gilbert, 2009(Gilbert, , 2010Lee and James, 2012;Welford, 2012).…”

“…The CFT groups in mental health populations in Craig et al's (2020) review are primarily aimed at working age adults, with a collective age range from 18 to 69 years, and the majority of groups having a mean age of participants in their 20 s, 30 s and 40 s (e.g., Braehler et al 2013;Duarte and Pinto-Gouveia, 2017;Judge et al 2012;McManus et al 2018;Noorbala et al 2013). Whilst a CFT group for people with a diagnosis of dementia is included (Collins et al 2018), the CFT groups in mental health settings did not include a focus on people from an older adult population.…”
