A key concern of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) is to develop inner warmth, safeness and soothing. The aim of the current study was to develop a compassion focused art therapy programme for clients diagnosed with Personality Disorders (PDs), the goal being to strengthen compassion skills and achieve more adaptive emotion regulation.

The Intervention Mapping Method was used for this purpose, based on: 1) determining needs, 2) goals for behavioural change, 3) theoretical art therapy methods and practical applications, 4) translation into an art therapy intervention, 5) planning adaption, implementation and durability, and 6) an evaluation plan. Use was made of a number of literature studies, focus groups with clients and occupational group professionals, questionnaires and a feasibility study.

The study resulted in the development of a Compassion Focused Art Therapy (CFAT) intervention for clients diagnosed with PDs, in which the most important goal was strengthening their compassion for themselves and for others. Key topics of CFT are found here as well, such as mindfulness, imagery and emotion regulation systems. The programme is based on a number of potentially effective methods that were specifically combined and tailored for this client population. Further research with a larger sample is needed to substantiate the intervention.

专注于同情疗法（CFT）的一个关键问题是发展内心的温暖，安全和舒缓。本研究的目的是为诊断为人格障碍（PDs）的患者制定以同情心为重点的艺术治疗计划，目的是增强同情心技能并实现更多的适应性情绪调节。

为此，使用了干预映射方法，其依据是：1）确定需求，2）行为改变的目标，3）理论艺术疗法的方法和实际应用，4）转化为艺术疗法干预，5）规划适应性，实施和耐久性，以及6）评估计划。使用了许多文献研究，与客户和职业小组专业人员的焦点小组，问卷调查和可行性研究。

该研究为患有PD的客户开发了以同情为重点的艺术疗法（CFAT）干预措施，其中最重要的目标是增强他们对自己和他人的同情心。这里也有CFT的关键主题，例如正念，图像和情绪调节系统。该计划基于针对这些客户群专门组合并量身定制的许多潜在有效方法。需要进一步的研究以更大的样本量来证实干预措施。
