Dynamics of Shame

Presented by:  Britt-Marie Schiller, PhD

This seminar is devoted to examining concepts relevant to shame dynamics, recognizing defenses and learning to work clinically with shame. We will discuss experiences of shame (the phenomenology of shame), internal  conflicts of shame, as well as defense mechanisms and related emotions, such as contempt, envy, and guilt. We will also explore the challenges of psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic technique, especially in light of our own defenses against shame experiences in the countertransference.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

After attending this session, participants should be able to:

1.  Explain the different theoretical aspects of individual shame from an ego-psychological perspective and from a self-psychological one.
