Compassion: Conceptualisations, Research and Use in Psychotherapy

Editat de Paul Gilbert
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 feb 2005

Pregătirea pentru examenul de specialitate în psihologie clinică sau parcurgerea unei certificări în psihoterapie necesită o înțelegere profundă a mecanismelor reglării emoționale. Remarcăm în volumul Compassion, coordonat de Paul Gilbert, o resursă academică riguroasă care fundamentează teoretic un concept adesea neglijat în psihologia vestică tradițională. Textul nu se rezumă la o abordare filosofică, ci disecă natura multidimensională a compasiunii prin prisma neurobiologiei și a psihologiei evoluționiste.

Structura volumului facilitează o progresie logică: prima parte este dedicată cercetării fundamentale, investigând bazele biopsihosociale și fiziologice, în timp ce a doua parte se concentrează pe aplicațiile clinice. Apreciem în mod deosebit modul în care autorii integrează modelele cognitive de validare cu tehnici de vizualizare din tradiția budistă pentru a trata patologii complexe precum depresia sau rușinea cronică. Cartea servește ca o alternativă academică la Self-Compassion in Psychotherapy de Tim Desmond pentru rezidenți, având avantajul unei perspective multidisciplinare mai largi, care include și analiza factorilor ce permit instalarea cruzimii atunci când mecanismele compasiunii sunt inhibate.

În contextul operei sale, acest volum reprezintă piatra de temelie pentru lucrările ulterioare ale lui Paul Gilbert, cum este The Compassionate Mind. Dacă lucrările sale mai recente, precum Effective Self-Care and Resilience in Clinical Practice, se concentrează pe prevenirea epuizării profesionale, Compassion rămâne referința teoretică esențială pentru înțelegerea procesului de vindecare prin dezvoltarea căldurii interioare. Este o lucrare clinică precisă, esențială pentru practicienii care doresc să implementeze protocoale de „Compassionate Mind Training” bazate pe dovezi.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este indispensabilă psihoterapeuților și cercetătorilor care doresc să depășească nivelul superficial al conceptului de compasiune. Cititorul câștigă acces la un cadru conceptual integrativ care îmbină neuroștiințele cu psihologia clinică. Este recomandată în special pentru specialiștii care lucrează cu pacienți prezentând un nivel ridicat de auto-critică și rușine, oferind instrumente concrete pentru a transforma relația terapeutică într-un vehicul al recuperării emoționale.


Despre autor

Paul Gilbert este profesor de psihologie clinică la Universitatea din Derby și fost șef al departamentului de sănătate mentală pentru adulți în cadrul Southern Derbyshire Mental Health Trust. Cu o experiență de peste două decenii în tratarea depresiei, el este recunoscut la nivel mondial ca fondator al Terapiei Centrate pe Compasiune (CFT). Cercetările sale se concentrează pe intersecția dintre psihologia evoluționistă, neurobiologie și modelele cognitive, transformând fundamental modul în care psihoterapia abordează rușinea și auto-atacul.


Descriere scurtă

What is compassion, how does it affect the quality of our lives and how can we develop compassion for ourselves and others?
Humans are capable of extreme cruelty but also considerable compassion. Often neglected in Western psychology, this book looks at how compassion may have evolved, and is linked to various capacities such as sympathy, empathy, forgiveness and warmth. Exploring the effects of early life experiences with families and peers, this book outlines how developing compassion for self and others can be key to helping people change, recover and develop ways of living that increase well-being.
Focusing on the multi-dimensional nature of compassion, international contributors:
  • explore integrative evolutionary, social constructivist, cognitive and Buddhist approaches to compassion
  • consider how and why cruelty can flourish when our capacities for compassion are turned off, especially in particular environments
  • focus on how therapists bring compassion into their therapeutic relationship, and examine its healing effects
  • describe how to help patients develop inner warmth and compassion to help alleviate psychological problems.
Compassion provides detailed outlines of interventions that are of particular value to psychotherapists and counsellors interested in developing compassion as a therapeutic focus in their work. It is also of value to social scientists interested in pro-social behaviour, and those seeking links between Buddhist and Western psychology.
