Resources to inspire and empower your compassionate mind

Traditionally, people with attachment and relational trauma have been excluded from longer-term psychological therapies on the basis that they are 'hard to engage' and considered 'untreatable'. This new model of group psychotherapy is underpinned by the theory and practice of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), with necessary adaptions to address the challenge of meeting the needs of individuals with complex trauma.

In this comprehensive handbook, CFT for groups expert Dr Kate Lucre provides an overview of a five-phase model of Compassion Focused Group Psychotherapy (CFGP), including case vignettes and qualitative data from patients who have completed the programme. This book is the first to offer clinicians a step-by-step guide to setting up and running CFGP groups alongside accessible theory and practice tips. For more information, click here
