Öz

Öz-duyarlık, Neff tarafından bireylerin kendilerine yargılamadan, eleştirmeden ya da cezalandırmadan yaklaşabilmesi, zorlu bir yaşantı sonrasında deneyimlerini kendini izole etmeden diğer insanlarla paylaşabilmesi ve acı verici duygu ve düşüncelerin aşırı şekilde tanımlanmadan bilinçli bir farkındalık zemininde tutulabilmesi olarak tanımlanmıştır. Araştırmalar, öz-duyarlığın psikolojik iyilik haliyle pozitif; depresyon, kaygı, yeme bozuklukları, travma ve pek çok psikolojik belirtilerle negatif yönde ilişkisi olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca psikoterapide öz-duyarlığın güçlendirilmesine yönelik araştırmaların oldukça önemli bulgular sunduğu da dikkatleri çekmektedir. Bu derleme makalesinin amacı, öz-duyarlık kavramını alanyazın doğrultusunda incelemek, öz-duyarlık bağlamında yürütülen görgül araştırmaların bulgularını özetlemek ve öz-duyarlığın psikoterapide kullanımını tartışmaktır.

Self-Compassion: Association with Psychological Symptoms and Usage in Psychotherapy

Öz

Self-compassion is defined by Neff as approaching to the self without judgment, criticism or punishment, sharing the stressful experiences with other people without isolation and holding the painful emotions and thoughts in mindful awareness without over identification. The studies showed that self-compassion has positive relationship with psychological well-being; has negative relationships with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma and other psychological problems. Also, the findings from psychotherapy studies that try to strength self-compassion attracted a great deal of attention. The main aims of this article were reviewing the self-compassion concept toward the literature, summarizing the empirical findings in the context of self-compassion and discussing the usage of self-compassion in psychotherapy..
