An interview with UK Professor of Clinical Psychology Paul Gilbert in which he considers these questions: Why should HE be embedding compassion into the curriculum? How can teaching staff do this well and quickly even if they feel this is not within their skill set? What can we observe so far from HE's history and legacy of, on the whole, degree education without explicit attention to compassion'? Can compassion be credit bearing on diverse degree programmes? How are academic, counselling and other staff in current HE to take care of their own high stress levels? And why are students suffering from competitive stress so much today?
