- Abstract
Menial health counselors working with adolescents and young adults often encounter nonsuicidal self- injury. Compassion-focused therapy (CFT), aform of cognitive behavioral therapy designed to help people relate to themselves with greater compassion, is proposed as an approach for addressing the most common underlying functions of nonsuicidal self-injury. This article reviews the theoretical underpinflings and goals of CFT and discusses how it can be used in counseling clients who self-injure. It describes strategies and techniques that target client attention, imagery, feeling, thinking, and behaviors and offers guidelines and considerations for using compassion-focused interventions for nonsuicidal self-injury.
