Background: People with psoriasis can experience psychological distress that might be amenable to psychosocial self-help.
Objectives: This study tested the feasibility and acceptability of two theoretically developed self-help interventions designed to reduce feelings of shame and improve quality of life.
Methods: A randomized controlled feasibility trial was conducted comprising 130 participants with psoriasis who were randomly allocated to receive either compassion-based self-help (n = 65) or mindfulness-based self-help (n = 65), over a 4-week period.

A randomized-controlled design was used, with 176 participants being allocated to either CFT-based self-help or a waitlist control group, who received usual medical care. The two-week intervention was provided by email.

Objectives: The conceptual approach of compassion underlying compassion-focused therapy (CFT) is based on theoretical rather than empirical grounds. The aim of the present study was to seek empirical support for components of compassion as outlined in the theoretical model underpinning CFT, and to explore which components, if any, matter most for improving well-being.
Design: A sequential exploratory mixed methods design was employed.

The working mechanisms of compassion-focused therapy (CFT) remain understudied. Drawing on the theoretical model underlying CFT, we examined four putative working mechanisms - self-reassurance, self-criticism, positive/negative affect - in relation to changes in well-being and psychological distress. Data of a waitlist randomised controlled trial ( = 242) investigating the effectiveness of a self-help CFT-intervention in a non-clinical sample were analysed.
