Resumen del Editor

Chronic shame is painful, corrosive, and elusive. It resists self-help and undermines even intensive psychoanalysis. Patricia A. DeYoung’s cutting-edge book gives chronic shame the serious attention it deserves, integrating new brain science with an inclusive tradition of relational psychotherapy. She looks behind the myriad symptoms of shame to its relational essence. As DeYoung describes how chronic shame is wired into the brain and developed in personality, she clarifies complex concepts and makes them available for everyday therapy practice.

Grounded in clinical experience and alive with case examples, Understanding and Treating Chronic Shame is highly readable and immediately helpful. Patricia A. DeYoung’s clear, engaging writing helps listeners recognize the presence of shame in the therapy room, think through its origins and effects in their clients’ lives, and decide how best to work with those clients. Therapists will find that Understanding and Treating Chronic Shame enhances the scope of their practice and efficacy with this client group, which comprises a large part of most therapy practices. Challenging, enlightening, and nourishing, this book belongs in the library of every shame-aware therapist.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Shame is indeed a phenomenon that is both in the brain, the mind, and in the space between us. Dr. DeYoung does a solid job in addressing the challenges of living with and treating chronic shame using a thoughtful, humane, and scientific approach." Louis Cozolino, PhD, professor of psychology at Pepperdine University’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology

"Beginning with diverse clinical vignettes with very dissimilar diagnoses, Patricia DeYoung tackles the unvoiced but powerful presence of shame that so often lies at the unspoken core of what troubles our clients. She beautifully and evocatively gives voice and shape to the annihilating impact of lack of attunement. DeYoung also makes the point that because shame takes root in relationship, we must heal it relationally. Equally important, she reminds us that, to be effective in this work, therapists must engage in their own ongoing internal work. This special book needs to be read by all of us." Patricia L. Papernow, EdD, instructor in psychology at Harvard Medical School and author of Surviving and Thriving in Stepfamily Relationships

"Defining shame as first and foremost a relational experience, Patricia DeYoung unpacks the extensive, damaging consequences of feeling chronically shamed while illustrating effective treatment in clear, accessible language. For clinicians who wish to understand and treat shame from the psychodynamic perspective, this book is a vital resource." Martha Sweezy, PhD, associate director and director of training for the dialectical behavioral therapy program at Harvard Medical School’s Cambridge Health Alliance

Incontournable for all shame-suffering brothers and sisters - as well as serious therapists

The book is a rare no-nonsense case of comprehensive insight into the cybernetics of this devastating emotion - and reductive mode of being.
It is cooly scientific and compassionate at the same time.
The voice and the narration causes no irritation.

if you've ever felt hopeless due to feelings this

this book is amazing with describing why feeling of shame and hopelessness are so ingrained that it is often impossible to figure out how to deal with those feelings

I got more out of this one book than a year of therapy

I wish there were more books just like this especially on this topic. I loved it and it truly changed my life.

Great

Insightful, compassionate, linking psychology with neuroscience. This book gave me great insight into my own condition and the situations of my patients

Excellent, instructive book

As a clinical graduate student this book was brilliantly instructive, inspiring, and fostered my own self-examination and relationship to shame.

Very Good!

Reading this book was like getting personal therapy. Very helpful to understand self and how chronic shame affects our lives.

Best shame book yet!

I have read several books about shame and how to treat it. This is by far the most comprehensive and helpful book about shame treatment that I’ve ever read. I am going to recommend it to all of my colleagues and students.
