Description
Understanding and Treating Chronic Shame: A Relational and Neurobiological Approach This book offers a comprehensive synthesis of relational and attachment theory, neurobiology, and contemporary psychoanalysis, providing a nuanced understanding of shame and its treatment. The second edition clarifies the relational, right-brain essence of shame and explores new theory on trauma, shame resilience, and self-compassion. The author invites therapists to deepen their awareness of collective societal trauma and their own place within dissociated societal shame, providing clear guidelines for differential diagnosis and treatment. Written in a lucid and compassionate style, the book engages with the most profound challenges of clinical practice, exploring the depths of human experience.
