“あがり”，罪悪感，誇りなどの自己意識的感情について，基礎および臨床研究を行ってきた。実証に基づく臨床心理学を信条とし，様々な感情制御の問題に対する認知行動療法の効果を検討している。近年は，慈悲の瞑想（loving-kindness meditation）とマインドフルネス瞑想(mindfulness meditation)が肯定的感情，否定的感情に及ぼす効果について研究を行っている。他にも，同様の感情制御の問題を呈する自閉スペクトラム症(ASD)，注意欠陥多動症(ADHD)の児童を対象とした集団認知行動療法を実施しており，効果量を高めるための取り組みを続けている。

Title:Development of a self-compassion focused cognitive behavioral program
Project summary:The effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral intervention focused on self-compassion was examined in the present study. The self-compassion scale(Neff, 2003) translated into Japanese demonstrated the same six-factor structure, adequate internal consistency , and correlation with mental health measure(Study 1). A 7-session Compassion focused therapy(CFT) treatment program was developed and carried out during 7weeks(Study 2). Participants with low self-compassion were recruited in the Psychology classes of university and randomly assigned to either treatment or control group. The CFT treatment group showed significantly higher self-compassion and self-esteem and lower self-critical thoughts, trait anxiety, shame, and depression. The same CFT program was carried out for a community sample of low-self-compassion, and the effects of the program was evaluated(Study 3).
