“…Therefore, during distressing psychosis, individuals can be said to be "hypersensitive to threat" (Gumley et al, 2010a(Gumley et al, , 2010b. Frequently, this stress reactivity is associated with stigmatization through external shame and self-criticism (Martins et al, 2020). In fact, SSD appear to be among the most stigmatized mental disorders within the general population (Mann & Himelein, 2004;Subramaniam et al, 2017).…”

The purpose of this systematic literature review is to provide an exhaustive summary of current research to explore the prospects of compassion-based approaches in treating persons with Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders (SSD). Thereby, studies investigating the relationship between clinical parameters and self-compassion in SSD, as well as the acceptability, feasibility, and effects of compassion-based approaches for individuals with SSD were considered. The review was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and checklist. Eight studies were included for qualitative synthesis. The results indicate an important role of self-compassion for several clinical parameters, including negative associations to positive symptoms, negative symptoms, cognitive disorganization, and emotional distress. All studies reported good acceptability and feasibility. Regarding the clinical effectiveness of compassion-based approaches, a variety of clinical benefits, such as improvements of mood, affect regulation, positive symptoms, negative symptoms, cognitive disorganization, and variables relating to psychological recovery were found in individuals with SSD. It is concluded that compassion-based approaches are a promising form of intervention in the treatment of SSD. However, further research, especially randomized controlled trials, in this field is needed to understand the full potential of compassion-based approaches for individuals with SSD.

“…It was hypothesized that: Depression would correlate negatively with EMWS (H 1 ) and positively with external shame and self-criticism (H 2 ), while the latter two variables would correlate positively with each other (H 3 ); EMWS would have a negative association with depression (H 4 ) and this relation would be mediated by external shame and selfcriticism (H 5 ). In relation to the last hypothesis formulated, as self-criticism is considered a mechanism to deal with shame, we considered that the two variables should appear sequentially, similar to other studies done with another type of samples (Castilho et al, 2016;Martins et al, 2020;Pinto-Gouveia et al, 2013;Shahar et al, 2014), in this case with shame being a mediator between EMWS and self-criticism, exploring a double mediation between EMWS and depression.…”

Institutionalization is a current problem, related to several indicators of psychological maladjustment. In the same way, there are several studies that point to the role of shame and self-criticism in the development of psychopathology. Therefore, our study explored, in institutionalized adolescents, whether early memories of warmth and safeness (EMWS) were associated to depression through external shame and self-criticism. The sample included 171 institutionalized adolescents (60.2% girls; Mage = 15.56; SD = 1.49). Depression, EMWS, external shame and self-criticism were assessed. The EMWS didn’t show a direct effect on depression, exerting its effect indirectly through external shame and self-criticism. The relationship between EMWS and self-criticism was fully mediated by external shame, and the relationship between external shame and depression was fully mediated by self-criticism. In conclusion, the way the individual sees and relates to the self seems to impact on psychological adjustment and in the development of psychopathology. The fact that external shame and self-criticism fully mediated the relationship between EMWS and depression emphasizes the relevance of preventive and therapeutic approaches that aim to promote a healthier way of relating to the self.
