Shame: Interpersonal Behavior, Psychopathology, and Culture

Over the last decade, the study of shame has become a major interest of clinicians and researchers in the area of emotion. But the focus has been primarily on the self, and shame as a self-conscious emotion. Shame, part of the Series in Affective Science, is a cross-disciplinary volume, covering neurobiological, sociological, evolutionary, anthropological, and clinical approaches and focusing on shame as an interpersonal and culturally shaped phenomenon.
