The Shame of Death, Grief, and Trauma
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.
