Unconditional Self-Acceptance and Self-Compassion

摘要: This book is largely concerned with one stance that it possible to take towards the “self”—self-acceptance. However, a number of other productive stances “self” and in this chapter, I will consider relationship between unconditional self-acceptance (USA) these stances: self-compassion (SC). In doing so, draw upon ideas several major theorists respective fields. Thus, discussing USA, work Albert Ellis (2005), Maxie Maultsby (1984), Paul Hauck (1991) as well those my own (Dryden, 2003); SC, heavily on Kristin Neff (e.g. Neff, 2003a). While chapter based proposition best develop USA before argue two concepts can be integrated both conceptually practically. It basic thesis augment another therapeutic strategy together more than each alone. begin by defining precisely what mean self-compassion.
