OBJECTIVESThe authors propose a review on the relationship between self-compassion and college studentsu2019 well-being and performance. BACKGROUND AND AIMSSelf-compassion has been linked with a variety of favorable health outcomes, and is currently being studied in the academic domain. It is seen also as facilitating empathy and compassion toward others. Development of self-compassion might be of benefit during undergraduate medical training.MATERIALS/METHODSThe authors reviewed the literature in PubMedu00ae database, over the last 5-years, using the query u201cself-compassion AND studentsu201d. Fifty four papers were found, of which 14 were selected.RESULTSSelf-compassion in college students was found to relate with higher resilience, academic engagement, less exhaustion and burnout. Moreover, it seems to mediate the association between negative life events and stress, depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviors. It benefits students with limited general resourcefulness skills, moderating its relationship with academic self-regulation. However, studies also showed that feelings of emotional vulnerability and uncertainty about the emotional requirements for compassionate practice concern health care students.Two to six weeks group interventions improved self-compassion and self-efficacy measures in students, decreasing negative self-directed thinking, emotion regulation difficulties, anxiety and depression. Curricula and the availability of compassionate role models may also have a role in promoting compassion.CONCLUSIONSSelf-compassion has been shown to relate to positive personal and academic outcomes in students, and studies demonstrated that it can be improved using brief structured interventions. Further ways of enhancing medical studentsu2019 compassion during training, and its later impact on health care related outcomes, are to be explored.

Kristin Neff, Ph.D., says that it’s time to “stop beating yourself up and leave insecurity behind.” Self-Compassion: Stop Beating Yourself Up and Leave Insecurity Behind offers expert advice on how to limit self-criticism and offset its negative effects, enabling you to achieve your highest potential and a more contented, fulfilled life. More and more, psychologists are turning away from an emphasis on self-esteem and moving toward self-compassion in the treatment of their patients—and Dr. Neff’s extraordinary book offers exercises and action plans for dealing with every emotionally debilitating struggle, be it parenting, weight loss, or any of the numerous trials of everyday living.

College counseling centers are tasked with intervening in student personal problems in order to facilitate academic success (Sharkin, 2004). Student psychopathology, of which anxiety and depression are the two most common clinical presentations (American College Health Association, 2013; CCMH, 2014), has been shown to significantly interfere with academic performance in indirect ways (Brackney & Karabenick, 1995). Therefore, identifying factors that support healthy normal development expected in college students, yet are effective at intervening with depression and anxiety could be helpful in guiding therapists' goals in psychotherapy. Self-compassion is a mindfulness-based positive self-attitude that has been touted as an important component of psychological well-being (Neff, 2012). Although there is a significant body of research linking self-compassion to indicators of psychological well-being (Neely, Schallert, Mohammed, Roberts, & Chen, 2009; Neff, 2003a, 2011, 2012; Yarnell & Neff, 2013) and it is associated with less psychological pathology (Lockard, Hayes, Neff, & Locke, in press; MacBeth & Gumley, 2012; Neff, 2003a, 2012; Neff, Kirkpatrick, & Rude, 2007; Van Dam, Sheppard, Forsyth, & Earleywine, 2011), research has yet to determine its importance in a psychotherapeutic context. The current study evaluated whether self-compassion predicts psychotherapy change and can moderate the relationship between initial distress and change in psychotherapy. Results supported previous research suggesting self-compassion is inversely related to distress at pre-treatment. Self-compassion predicted changes on most CCAPS change scores when used as the only predictor in the model; however, when initial distress was added, the self-compassion effect size dropped below significance. Interestingly, there was a significant interaction between initial distress levels of anxiety and eating concerns on change scores; self-compassion facilitated gains in therapy for those low in initial distress, but was associated with less gains in therapy for those high in initial distress. Results are discussed relevant to the literature.

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.

If someone told you that you have low self-esteem, would it cause you to bristle? For many, the very concept of self-esteem has negative connotations, because it calls to mind the comparisons we make between ourselves and others. So how do you build real self-confidence? InThe Power of Self-Compassion, you will learn that focusing on self-compassion, rather than self-esteem, is actually the best way to build true, lasting self-confidence. For too long self-esteem has been based on the idea that if you achieve certain goals you are doing okay. This can lead to comparing yourself with others as a way to build confidence. The skills and behavioral techniques outlined in this book are drawn from the groundbreaking compassion-focused therapy (CFT), which holds that being compassionate to yourself--even when things are not going well--is central to building real self-confidence. With compassion-focused therapy, you will adopt an accepting attitude about your strengths and weaknesses, and a commitment to change that doesn't depend on being overly critical of yourself or comparing yourself with others. In addition, you will learn how the concept of self-confidence fits in the context of our evolution, biology, and life experiences. If you are looking to improve your self-confidence, the behavioral steps provided in this book can help you focus on the areas in your life that need improvement, so that you can build a stronger sense of self-worth and competence.

How do we define compassion? Is it an emotional state, a motivation, a dispositional trait, or a cultivated attitude? How does it compare to altruism and empathy? Chapters in this Handbook present critical scientific evidence about compassion in numerous conceptions. All of these approaches to thinking about compassion are valid and contribute importantly to understanding how we respond to others who are suffering. Covering multiple levels of our lives and self-concept, from the individual, to the group, to the organization and culture, The Oxford Handbook of Compassion Science gathers evidence and models of compassion that treat the subject of compassion science with careful scientific scrutiny and concern. It explores the motivators of compassion, the effect on physiology, the co-occurrence of wellbeing, and compassion training interventions. Sectioned by thematic approaches, it pulls together basic and clinical research ranging across neurobiological, developmental, evolutionary, social, clinical, and applied areas in psychology such as business and education. In this sense, it comprises one of the first multidisciplinary and systematic approaches to examining compassion from multiple perspectives and frames of reference. With contributions from well-established scholars as well as young rising stars in the field, this Handbook bridges a wide variety of diverse perspectives, research methodologies, and theory, and provides a foundation for this new and rapidly growing field. It should be of great value to the new generation of basic and applied researchers examining compassion, and serve as a catalyst for academic researchers and students to support and develop the modern world.

Adolescence is a pivotal period of development with respect to health and illness. It is during adolescence that many positive health behaviors are consolidated and important health risk behaviors are first evident; thus, adolescence is a logical time period for primary prevention. In addition, the predominant causes of morbidity and mortality in adolescence are quite different from those of adults, indicating that early identification and treatment of adolescent health problems must be directed to a unique set of targets in this age group. Moreover, because of the particular developmental issues that characterize adolescence, intervention efforts designed for adults are often inappropriate or ineffective in an adolescent population. Even when chronic illnesses are congenital or begin in childhood, the manner in which the transition from childhood to adolescence to young adulthood is negotiated has important implications for disease outcomes throughout the remainder of the person’s life span. Organized in five major sections (General Issues, Developmental Issues, Treatment and Training, Mental Health, and Physical Health) and 44 chapters, Handbook of Adolescent Health Psychology addresses the common and not so common health issues that tend to affect adolescents. Coverage includes: ▪ Context and perspectives in adolescent health psychology ▪ Health literacy, health maintenance, and disease prevention in adolescence ▪ Physical disorders such as asthma, obesity, physical injury, and chronic pain ▪ Psychological disorders such as substance abuse, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, and eating disorders ▪ Congenital chronic diseases such as type 1 diabetes and spina bifida Handbook of Adolescent Health Psychology is the definitive reference for pediatricians, family physicians, health psychologists, clinical social workers, rehabilitation specialists, and all practitioners and researchers working with adolescents.
