Description
Guilt: A Contemporary Introduction by Donald L. Carveth offers a nuanced exploration of the complex concept of guilt, shedding light on aspects that have previously been overlooked in psychoanalytic theory and discourse.
Carveth examines the significance of distinguishing between different types of guilt, including punitive guilt, and how these distinctions impact psychosocial theory and clinical practice. He also addresses the patterns of self-punishment and self-sabotage, and the use of persecutory guilt as a defence against reparative guilt, contrition, and reparation.
This book is part of the Routledge Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis series and will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, social scientists, and social philosophers, as well as those studying ethics and theology.
