the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy on risky behaviors and self-injurious behaviors in women with a history of substance abuse

introductionusing drugs and substances without a medical need is known as substance abuse, which puts a person’s physical and mental health at risk. according to the dsm-5, substance abuse involves the excessive and repeated use of drugs that leads to a person failing to fulfill responsibilities at work, school, home, and in social relationships (fitzsimons et al., 2023). a significant issue related to addiction and drug use is the feminization of addiction. reports from the united nations and anti-narcotics headquarters indicate a 10% prevalence of addiction and drug use among women. this, combined with other social issues like running away from home, poverty, and prostitution, makes addicted women more vulnerable than men. (knopf, 2023).risky behaviors are major challenges that threaten individuals and society's physical, psychological, and social health (mitchell and umashanker, 2023). generally, behaviors such as drug use, smoking, alcohol consumption, dangerous driving, violence, and early sexual activity are known as high-risk behaviors, with about 20% related to drug abuse (diedrick et al., 2023). self-harming behaviors also fall into this category. these are intentional actions meant to cause physical and psychological harm (miranda-mendizabal et al., 2019). people with conditions like depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, mood disorders, eating disorders, ptsd, schizophrenia, dissociative disorders, and sexual dysfunction are more likely to engage in self-harm. however, even high-functioning individuals without a mental health diagnosis can exhibit self-harming behaviors (brager-larsen et al., 2023).compassion-focused therapy, developed in the 1980s by british psychologist paul gilbert, combines insights from social psychology, developmental psychology, evolution, neuroscience, and buddhism to address specific mental health issues (steindel et al., 2022). the key aspect of this therapy is training in compassion. therapists help patients develop compassion skills to foster a more compassionate relationship with themselves, replacing self-blame, self-criticism, and self-condemnation (gilbert & huxter, 2023). the purpose of this research was the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy on high-risk behaviors and self-harming behaviors in women with a history of substance abuse.
