Title: Shame and guilt
Description: "Shame and guilt, while the focus of attention among scholars and clinicians for generations, have only recently been subjected to systematic empirical scrutiny. This volume reports on the growing body of knowledge about these key self-conscious emotions, integrating findings from the authors' original research program with other data emerging from social, clinical, personality, and developmental psychology. June Price Tangney and Ronda L. Dearing offer a new scientific perspective on shame and guilt.

Evidence is presented to demonstrate that these universally experienced affective phenomena have significant - and surprisingly disparate - implications for many aspects of human functioning, with particular relevance for interpersonal relationships." "This book is for researchers, students, and practitioners across a wide range of psychological disciplines. It will serve as an informative text in advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses."--BOOK JACKET.
