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.
