Summary/Abstract: Self-criticism is a major conjoint factor in the background of many psychiatric diagnoses. Conversely, self-reassurance and self-compassion are generally associated with better psychological health and well-being. The article provides an overview of various possible interventions in this area. The interventions are classified into two types: these requiring psychotherapist’s presence (psychotherapy and training programs) or these which are self-help based (meditation, mindfulness, virtual reality, expressive writing, imagination and focusing on human faces with positive mood). The following article „Specifics of Psychotherapy with Highly Self-Critical Client“ focuses particularly on psychotherapy with highly self-critical clients.
