This handbook examines contemporary issues in self-compassion science and practice. It describes advances in the conceptualization and measurement of self-compassion as well as current evidence from cross-sectional and experimental research. The volume addresses the foundational issues of self-compassion, including its relationship to self-esteem and mindfulness. In addition, it considers the developmental origins of self-compassion and its relevance across the life course, including among adolescents and older adults. The handbook explores the role of self-compassion in promoting well-being and resilience and addresses new frontiers in self-compassion research, such as the neural underpinnings and psychophysiology of compassionate self-regulation

Key areas of coverage include:
  • The meaning of self-compassion for gender and sexuality minority groups.
  • The cultivation of self-compassion among young people.
  • The use of interventions to promote self-compassion.
  • The role of compassion-based interventions in clinical contexts.
  • Important insights for using self-compassion-based interventions in practice.

The Handbook of Self Compassion is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians, therapists, and other practitioners in psychology, complementary and alternative medicine, and social work as well as all interrelated research disciplines and clinical practices.

Her research reflects the continuum of clinical to through implementation science, with a focus on translating evidence into policy and practice to improve mental health outcomes for children and families. Dr. Finlay-Jones's personal connection to self-compassion practice came at a young age when she was diagnosed with a chronic illness. Since that time, she has undertaken academic study of self-compassion, including developing the world's first online self-compassion training program during her doctoral studies. Dr. Finlay-Jones is interested in the development of self-compassion in children and adolescence, its application within clinical contexts, and its intersection with self-regulation. She is a trained teacher of the Compassion Cultivation Training Program, the Mindful Self-Compassion Program, the Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living Program, and the Mindful Self-Compassion for Teens program. She has a strong interest in co-designing accessible approaches to self-compassion training with underrepresented groups.
