The process of emotional co-regulation that has a practical basis rooted in communication is framed as key to the experience of compassion. Mindfulness is presented as a way of establishing an attuned self-awareness as the foundation for self-care as well as for states of healthy connection with patients and colleagues. The cognitive therapy model is introduced as one way of organising the salient features of compassionate practice Suggestions are made for cultivating compassion in health and social care at individual, team and organisational level.The book is essential reading for all healthcare workers, as well as students of medicine, nursing, the allied healthcare professions, psychology and healthcare management.
