Compassion therapy, a third-generation psychotherapy, has gained prominence in recent years, particularly when combined with mindfulness practices. Among its variations, attachment-based compassion therapy (ABCT) stands out as a protocol that can effectively promote compassion and self-compassion across both the general and psychiatric populations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt its core, ABCT is grounded in attachment theory, recognizing the importance of early relationships in shaping our emotional and social development. By incorporating practices aimed at raising awareness and addressing maladaptive aspects of attachment styles developed with parents, ABCT seeks to enhance our ability to form healthy and fulfilling relationships in the present. This transformative process is imparted as a blend of compassion and self-compassion, fostering a deeper understanding and empathy for oneself and others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the context of ABCT, the face-to-face group format has demonstrated its efficacy and applicability in improving the well-being of healthy individuals and addressing a range of mental health conditions, including fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorders. Recognizing the need for accessibility and convenience, this book presents a self-applied version of ABCT that closely follows the original model while being adapted and developed to be fully self-applied online through a series of 8 sequential modules.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe content of the manual is presented in a user-friendly manner, utilizing a combination of texts, images, tables, and figures to enhance understanding and engagement. Additionally, links to downloadable audio files are provided, allowing individuals to engage in formal meditative practices that complement the therapeutic journey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy embarking on this self-applied ABCT journey, individuals can cultivate compassion, reduce stress, and enhance their overall well-being. Whether used independently or in conjunction with professional guidance, this manual offers a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding and practice of compassion-based therapies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 483g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783031380310\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Javier Garcia-Campayo,Daniel Campos,Paola Herrera-Mercadal,Mayte Navarro-Gil,Kathryn Ziemer,Beatriz Palma,Sheeva Mostoufi,Roberto Aristegui","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44570827948282,"sku":"9783031380310","price":58.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1694792746445_book.jpg?v=1694959875","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-attachmentbased-compassion-therapy-a-manual-for-selfapplication-9783031380310","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
