"The Widening Scope of Shame" is the first collection of papers on
shame to appear in a decade and contains contributions from most of
the major authors currently writing on this topic. It is not a
sourcebook, but a comprehensive introduction to clinical and
theoretical perspectives on shame that is intended to be read cover
to cover.
The panoramic scope of this multidisciplinary volume is evidenced
by a variety of clinically and developmentally grounded chapters;
by chapters explicating the theories of Silvan Tomkins and Helen
Block Lewis; and by chapters examining shame from the viewpoints of
philosophy, social theory, and the study of family systems. A final
section of brief chapters illuminates shame in relation to specific
clinical problems and experiential contexts, including envy,
attention deficit disorder, infertility, masochism, the medical
setting, and religious experience.
This collection will be of special interest to psychoanalytically
oriented readers. It begins with a chapter charting the evolution
of Freud's thinking on shame, followed by chapters providing
contemporary perspectives on the role of shame in development, and
the status of shame within the theory of narcissism. Of further
psychoanalytic interest are two reprinted classics by Sidney Levin
on shame and marital dysfunction.
In both depth of clinical coverage and breadth of perspectives,
"The Widening Scope of Shame" is unique in the shame literature.
Readable, well organized, and completely up to date, it becomes
essential reading for all students of this intriguing and
unsettling emotion and of human development more generally.
