Shame is a common and pervasive feature of the human response to
death and other losses, yet this often goes unrecognized due to a
reluctance to acknowledge and confront it. This book intends to
expose shame for what it is, allowing clinicians to see that it is
the central psychological force in the understanding of death and
mourning. Kauffman and his fellow authors explore the psychology of
shame via observation, reflection, theory, and practice in order to
demonstrate the significant role it can play in our processing of
grief, death, and trauma. The authors avoid defining a unified
theory of shame in order to emphasize its multitude of meanings and
the impact this has on grief and grief therapy. First-person
narratives provide a personal look at death and associated feelings
of guilt, shock, and grief; and other chapters consider shame in
the context of cultural differences, recent events, and
contemporary art, literature, and film. This is the first book to
offer a comprehensive examination of this topic and, as such, will
be a valuable resource for all clinicians who work with clients
affected by grief and loss.
