Abstract
Research suggests that mental health difficulties are highly prevalent in the homeless population (Fazel et al., 2008). Such outcomes are suggested to be related to childhood experiences in this population, with there being high recorded levels of childhood adversity, above general population norms (Liu et al., 2021a, 2021b; Cockersell, 2018; Hughes et al., 2020; Bellis et al., 2014). This conceptual introduction highlights, within the homeless population: mental and physical health inequalities seen in this group, traumatic experiences reported in the homeless population (including during childhood), and psychological factors that are suggested to mediate the link between childhood experiences and mental health difficulties. These factors can be broadly understood as the way one relates to oneself and to others. These findings resonated with the theoretical underpinnings of Compassion-Focused Therapy: the three emotion regulation systems, attachment theory, and social mentality theory (Bowlby, 1958, 1973; Gilbert, 1989, 2009, 2014, 2022).
