In this classic volume, Kaufman synthesizes object relations theory, interpersonal theory, and, in particular, Silvan Tompkins's affect theory, to provide a powerful and multidimensional view of shame. Using his own clinical experience, he illustrates the application of affect theory to general classes of shame-based syndromes including compulsive; schizoid, depressive, and paranoid; sexual dysfunction; splitting; and sociopathic. This second edition includes two new chapters in which Dr. Kaufman presents shame as a societal dynamic and shows its impact on culture. He examines the role of shame in shaping the evolving identity of racial, ethnic, and religious minorities, and expands his theory of governing scenes. This new edition will continue to be of keen interest to clinical psychiatrists as well as graduate students.

The Psychology of Shame:Theory and Treatment of Shamed based syndromes by Gershen Kaufman,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Psychology of Shame: Theory and Treatment of Shame-Based Syndromes (Paperback)
This is my new Bible for the study of Shame. A broad review of the entire subject but uniquely allows the reader to dig deeper into the material so as to reach a much greater understanding of this complex and often misunderstood subject(s).I have read many text books and books on shame and Gershen has been able to open my mind even further on the subject. He is one of the new bread of Pychology authors which allows the informed student to move freely within the material without experiencing ambiguous ideas or statement within the material. This book can set the stag for our ultimate understanding of a subject that influences our lives more than any other.
