Compassion: Conceptualisations, Research and Use in PsychotherapyPaul Gilbert Routledge, 5 jul 2005 - 416 páginas What is compassion, how does it affect the quality of our lives and how can we develop compassion for ourselves and others?

It is also of value to social scientists interested in pro-social behaviour, and those seeking links between Buddhist and Western psychology. |
