Description
Emerging evidence suggests that self-compassion is negatively impacted for people who live with bipolar disorder, a condition that is often associated with harsh self-criticism, perfectionism, and self-worth that is contingent on achieving lofty goals. This project offers a student scope to design a project to advance understanding of self-compassion in bipolar disorder, including systematic reviews, qualitative interviews, self-report surveys, psychometric studies, and experimental research to understand the potential benefits and challenges of compassion-focused therapeutic approaches for this population.
