Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) integrates techniques from cognitivebehavioral therapy with concepts from psychology and neuroscience. The main objective of CFT is to use compassionate mind training to help individuals develop and maintain the experiences of inner warmth and stability, through the cultivation of compassion (including self-compassion). This chapter will describe in detail self-compassion as a technique to help ease distress, anxiety, or depressive feelings, as well as enhance resilience and establish objective health-related expectations and goals for patients with serious chronic diseases, such as cancer, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
