本章知识点阐述

本书《ACT实践者同情科学指南》是由Tirch、Schoendorff 和 Silberstein 撰写，旨在将接受与承诺疗法（ACT）与同情聚焦疗法（CFT）相结合。接受与承诺疗法是一种以接受现实、采取行动为核心的心理治疗方法，而同情聚焦疗法则强调通过培养对自己和他人的同情心来促进心理健康。两者结合可以帮助治疗师更好地理解和运用同情的概念，增强治疗效果。

书中不仅提供了理论上的支持，还包含了大量的实际案例和操作步骤，使得理论知识更加接地气。例如，书中提到的价值观、解构、承诺行动等概念都是ACT的关键组成部分，而这些部分在加入同情元素后变得更加丰富和有力量。此外，书中还介绍了如何将同情融入到治疗过程中，比如通过特定的练习和技术来帮助患者学会自我同情和对他人的同情。

本书得到了多位心理学领域知名学者的高度评价，他们认为该书不仅对ACT从业者有益，也适合所有对同情感兴趣的人士。书中提供的洞见和工具不仅有助于提高治疗效果，也能帮助个人在生活中更好地实践同情，从而促进心理健康和个人成长。

“An elegant synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern science. Packed full of powerful insights and practical tools, this book is an incredibly useful resource not just for acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) practitioners, but for anyone with an interest in compassion. Highly recommended!” —Russ Harris, author of The Happiness Trap and ACT Made Simple “The ACT Practitioner’s Guide to the Science of Compassion by Tirch, Schoendorff, and Silberstein is an excellent integration of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and compassion-focused therapy (CFT). User-friendly and filled with insights and clinical examples, this book will open new possibilities in therapy. Highly recommended.” —Robert Leahy, PhD, director of the American Institute for Cognitive Therapy “This is a truly unique book that examines the points of intersection between acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and other approaches to mindful- ness and self-compassion. While having a remarkable level of detail and theo- retical sophistication, the book also provides case examples and easy, practical techniques to help therapists integrate compassion practice into their work with clients in a meaningful way.” —Kristin Neff, PhD, associate professor in educational psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, TX, pioneering researcher into the mental health benefits of self-compassion, and author of Self-Compassion “This is the book I’ve waited for—a guide that melds acceptance and commit- ment therapy (ACT) processes with the transformative power of compassion. Values, defusion, committed action, self-as-context—every component of ACT is strengthened as we learn to access and use compassion.” —Matthew McKay, PhD, coauthor of Your Life on Purpose“Compassion is a defining aspect of humanity that contributed to the survival of our species. In addition, compassion is one of the common elements of all world religions and at the heart of clinical practice. In this remarkable volume, Tirch, Schoendorff, and Silberstein examine the many aspects of compassion within the context of modern cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Highly accessible, this remarkable book provides clinicians with concrete recommen- dations to cultivate compassion and implement it into clinical practice. This book is a must-read.” —Stefan G. Hofmann, PhD, professor of psychology at Boston University, MA, and author of An Introduction to Modern CBT: Psychological Solutions to Mental Health Problems “Evolutionary science is providing us with a deeper understanding of the cen- trality of connection in human well-being. As result, the science of compassion is growing dramatically and compassion is taking a critical place in the study and practice of empirical clinical psychology. Tirch, Schoendorff, and Silberstein provide welcome guidance for clinicians interested in a more explicit focus on compassion in their work.” —Kelly G. Wilson, PhD, associate professor of psychology at the University of Mississippi, MS, and coauthor of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy “This comprehensive compendium on compassion will satisfy practitioners who hunger for theory and conceptual analysis, as well as those who want innovative and step-by-step treatment tools. This book belongs in the library of any clini- cian who wants to deepen the impact of their therapeutic relationships using not only their intellect, but their heart.” —Mavis Tsai, PhD, coauthor of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy: Creating Intensive and Curative Therapeutic Relationships and senior research scientist and director of the FAP Specialty Clinic in the Psychological Services and Training Center at the University of Washington, WA“Compassion is one of—if not the most—powerful antidotes to human suffer- ing. More than 2,600 years of collective wisdom and a decade of psychological research teaches us why that is so. But why is compassion so elusive? How do we harness the power of compassion to alleviate forms of human suffering and to promote psychological health? This intriguing, insightful, and immensely practical book offers answers to these and other questions, and will show you how to put compassion into action. Though written with acceptance and com- mitment therapy (ACT) practitioners in mind, this book goes into territory that can be readily adapted within any form of mental health practice. I am grateful to the authors for giving us this clinically rich book. It is a gift and a must-read for all mental health professionals.” —John P. Forsyth, PhD, professor of psychology and director of the Anxiety Disorders Research Program at the University at Albany, NY, and coauthor of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Anxiety Disorders, The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety, ACT on Life Not on Anger, and Your Life on Purpose “From my first encounter with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to my romps with functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP) and compassion- focused therapy (CFT), I have felt an inherent pulse of compassion in the processes and interventions that are built into these psychotherapeutic approaches. In The ACT Practitioner’s Guide to the Science of Compassion, the authors bring together theory, science, and application in a way that easily guides the clinician to understanding compassion and its place in the contex- tual behavioral therapies, while also weaving the cloth of engagement and flex- ibility into deepening the sense of connection to others and what it means to be human. An essential read for all those determined to create a more compas- sionate world!” —Robyn D. Walser, PhD, associate clinical professor at the University of California, Berkeley, CA, and associate director for the National Center for PTSD, Dissemination and Training Division
