Description
Shame: A Normal yet Problematic Emotion Shame is an emotion that has long been overlooked in favour of more primal instincts. However, Michael Lewis argues that shame plays a crucial role in our psychic lives, and its impact can be seen in many areas of conflict among individuals and groups. In this book, Lewis explores the concept of shame in depth, drawing on his own research and the work of other experts to create a comprehensive understanding of emotional development. He examines how shame is handled differently by different people, and how some styles of dealing with shame can be maladaptive. A new chapter added to this paperback edition sheds light on the process of stigmatization and its relationship to shame. By exploring the complexities of shame, Lewis offers a nuanced understanding of this often-misunderstood emotion, and provides valuable insights into our own emotional lives.
