The consequences of apparent moral failings in an individual are
something that can be seen frequently in the media and in everyday
life. One issue that is rarely addressed in public discussion about
someone s lack of conscience is any thought as to how the
conscience actually functions. In "The Conscience and
Self-Conscious Emotions in Adolescence, " Frans Schalkwijk presents
a new definition of the conscience as a psychic function in which
self-conscious emotions and empathy are dominant.
Schalkwijk combines current scientific research into empathy,
shame and guilt as well as his rich clinical experience to create a
wealth of information for clinicians working with children and
adolescents. This book is a superb guide for operationalizing the
diagnostics of the conscience, presenting a developmental approach
to the theory and diagnostics of the conscience and integrating
psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioural, social, psychological and
neurobiological theories. Research has shown that human behaviours
are often enacted well below our potential cognitive level. In this
book, a balance is found between affective and cognitive aspects of
the conscience.
Accessibly written and incorporating case studies and detailed
notation throughout, this is a highly practical work ideal for
psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, psychologists, students and
professionals working with children, adolescents and adults.
