Compassion Focused Group Psychotherapy: An Exploratory Programme for People who could have a diagnosis of Personality Disorder
For too long, people living with attachment and relational trauma have been excluded from longer-term psychological therapies, labelled as ‘hard to engage’ or ‘untreatable’. This book challenges that narrative.
Introducing an innovative model of group psychotherapy grounded in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), this handbook offers a compassionate, evidence-informed approach specifically adapted for individuals with complex and developmental trauma. The five-phase model of Compassion Focused Group Psychotherapy (CFGP) is brought to life through rich case vignettes and powerful qualitative accounts from group participants.
Designed for psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health professionals and indeed anyone who loves a good story. This is the first practical guide to setting up and running CFGP groups. Combining clear theoretical foundations with step-by-step clinical guidance and practical tips, it equips clinicians to work confidently and compassionately with some of the most underserved patient groups.
Join us for an evening of stories, practical ideas and an opportunity to explore the healing power of play in group psychotherapy. Hope to see you there.
