Description

Shame is one of our most central feelings and a universal human characteristic.

Why do we experience it? For what purpose? How can we cope with excessive feelings of shame?In this elegant exposition informed by many years of helping people to understand feelings of shame, leading Jungian analyst Mario Jacoby provided a comprehensive exploration of the many aspects of shame and showed how it occupies a central place in our emotional experience.

Jacoby demonstrated that a lack of self-esteem is often at the root of excessive shame, and as well as providing practical examples of how therapy can help, he drew upon a wealth of historical and cultural scholarship to show how important shame is for us in both its individual and social aspects.

This Classic Edition includes a new foreword by Marco Della Chiesa.
