Compassionate mind training for people with high shame and self‐criticism: overview and pilot study of a group therapy approach (2006, methodology): “This was constructed from previous studies exploring hostile and compassionate self-imagery (Gilbert et al., 2006; Gilbert & Irons, 2004).”
The benefits of self-compassion and optimism exercises for individuals vulnerable to depression (2010, background): “More specifically, self-critics harbor perfectionistic dysfunctional beliefs (Mongrain & Zuroff, 1989 ) and have difficulties engendering feelings of self-compassion (Gilbert, Baldwin, Irons, Baccus, & Palmer, 2006 ), both of which were specifically targeted in the self-compassion exercise.”

Are positive psychology exercises helpful for people with depressive personality styles? (2011, background): “Self-critics tend to resist direct efforts to change their self-concept (Gilbert, Baldwin, Irons, Baccus, & Palmer, 2006 ); hence, an exercise directed at what is good and right in their lives was expected to produce better results.”
Soothing Oneself and Resisting Self-Attacks: The Treatment of Two Intrapersonal Deficits in Depression Vulnerability (2009, background): “These are: (1) the inability to soothe oneself (e.g., Blatt 1974; Blatt and Zuroff 1992; Gilbert et al. 2006; Linehan 1993), and (2)”
