Compassion: Concepts, Research and Applications

Editat de Paul Gilbert
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mai 2017
Paul Gilbert brings together an international line-up of leading scholars and researchers in the field to provide a state-of-the-art exploration of key areas in compassion research and applications. Compassion can be seen as a core element of prosocial behaviour, and explorations of the concepts and value of compassion have been extended into different aspects of life including physical and psychological therapies, schools, leadership and business.
While many animals share abilities to be distress sensitive and caring of others, it is our newly evolved socially intelligent abilities that make us capable of knowingly and deliberately helping others and purposely developing skills and wisdom to do so. This book generates many research questions whilst exploring the similarity and differences of human compassion to non-human caring and looks at how compassion changes the brain and body, affects genetic expression, manifests at a young age and is then cultivated (or not) by the social environment.
Compassion: Concepts, Research and Applications will be essential reading for professionals, researchers and scholars interested in compassion and its applications in psychology and psychotherapy.

Recenzii

"This exciting collection of chapters will bring readers up-to-date with the latest developments in compassion research. Compassion has become an essential psychological concept with developmental, biological, and social roots as well as a wide variety of applications"Chris R. Brewin, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University College London.
"Given the explosion of interest in compassion in many disciplines and professions, this overview of compassion is extremely timely. Paul Gilbert has assembled a stellar lineup of international experts, and the resulting book is essential for all who are interested in better understanding or fostering compassion. The book is remarkably comprehensive, addressing fundamental definitional and conceptual issues, the psychobiology of compassion, its origin in and impact on relationships, and its potential transformative role in leadership, health care, and psychotherapy. The book brilliantly summarizes the current state of compassion research and application and will serve as a catalyst for future explorations and developments."
David C. Zuroff, Professor of Clinical Psychology, McGill University, Montreal.
 
"This remarkable and powerful book links the practice of mindful compassion to basic science and theory effortlessly. Paul Gilbert has assembled and organized a truly excellent anthology of the essential elements regarding Compassion Focused Therapy and the applied research on compassion. Practitioners of evidence based psychotherapy who wish to remain at the cutting edge of their science need this book. I give this my highest recommendation."
Denis Tirch, Founding Director,The Center for Compassion Focused Therapy, USA.
