Zusammenfassung

Dieses Kapitel stellt die Bedeutung von Selbstmitgefühl und liebevoller Güte im Rahmen von Achtsamkeit in der Psychotherapie vor. Dafür wird nach einer kurzen Begriffseinführung und einer Einordnung von Achtsamkeit in die aktuelle Psychotherapie zunächst das Begriffsverständnis von Mitgefühl und Selbstmitgefühl differenziert. Anschließend werden aktuelle Entwicklungen und Behandlungskonzepte sowie ihre Evidenzbasierung vorgestellt. Zum Abschluss werden vor diesem Hintergrund zukünftige Entwicklungen und offene Fragen diskutiert.
