Unhealthy or maladaptive shame is believed by many to be the root cause of a diverse range of mental health problems. If we want to offer a more reparative healing to people contending with these psychological issues, we must ultimately trace back and resolve their underlying shame. This book offers researchers, practitioners, and students a balance of theoretical and empirical evidence for a practical approach in shame-informed counselling and psychotherapy.
Key Features
- Empirical field study evidence on shame.
- References to both Western and Eastern literature on the subject.
- A shame-informed counselling and psychotherapy approach.
- Focuses on restructuring core beliefs and early memories.
Additional Information
Ng advocates that shame-informed interventions be applied following or alongside contemporary counselling modalities and protocols. Using his 15 years of professional practice in the field, he offers a shame-informed counselling and psychotherapy approach which aims not merely to help the individual cope with or suppress the shame as commonly advocated in current literature, but also deals with its roots.
