- 소개/요약Arguably, the capacity to be compassionate towards others is a key in psychotherapeutic and other clinical work (Gilbert 2005a). At the same time, continuous work with people in mental distress commonly leads to symptoms of psychological distress in clinicians, which may lead to burnout (Figley 2002; Hannigan et al. 2004). Over the past decades, Western psychology has increasingly become interested in training programmes that are thought to cultivate compassion for self and others, such as programmes based on mindfulness meditation (Gilbert 2005b; Kabat-Zinn 1990). Although the majority of research on mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) has been carried out with people with medical or mental health problems (e.g. Baer 2003), there has been growing interest in the use of MBIs to reduce stress and increase self-compassion and self-care in healthcare professionals (e.g. Shapiro and Carlson 2009). More recently, research has started to explore loving-kindness meditation (LKM), a traditionally Buddhist meditation which is commonly practised in the context of mindfulness (Hofman et al. 2011; Tirch 2010), and can cultivate an attitude of unconditional love, kindness and compassion for oneself and others (Gilbert 2005b; Salzberg 1995).
