Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) is a system of psychotherapy developed by Paul Gilbert that integrates techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy with concepts drawn from evolutionary psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, Buddhist psychology and neuroscience. One of its central concerns is the use of compassionate mind training to help people develop and work with experiences of inner warmth, safeness and soothing, through compassion directed at both themselves and others.
