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 centered on the self, and shame as a self-conscious emotion. Shame, part of the Affective Science Series, is a cross-disciplinary volume, covering neurogiological, sociological, evolutionary, anthropological, and clinical approaces and focusing on shame as a interpersonal and culturally shaped phenomenon.
