Shame and Guilt
June Price Tangney and Ronda L. Dearing
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 on these key self-conscious emotions,
integrating findings from the authors' original research program with other data emerging
from social, clinical, personality, and developmental psychology. Writing in an engaging,
accessible style, June Price Tangney and Ronda L. Dearing offer a coherent new scientific
perspective on shame and guilt. Compelling 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.
