Well written, informative, and easy [for me] to recommend to
readers across the range of mental health professions....Broucek's
proposals [are] logical and persuasive....His warnings to
therapists command attention....[A] valuable addition[s] to the
rapidly growing literature on shame...I highly recommend [this
book].--Joseph D. Lichtenberg in The Psychoanalytic Quarterly
Broucek's book is an imaginative and forthright discussion of an
extremely powerful and painful phenomenon. As the author suggests,
it may be this very intensity of feeling associated with shame that
has paradoxically caused a lack of attention to the subject (until
recently) in psychoanalytic literature. Broucek contends that
psychoanalysts have ignored shame because of their own
vulnerabilities to it--both personally and because shame is an
almost inevitable component of the standard psychotherapeutic
relationship...The necessary balance between shame and
shamelessness that Broucek ultimately proposes provides an
impressive conclusion to this important book.--Jon G. Allen, Ph.D.,
Section Editor, Review in Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic
- ...well written, informative, and easy to recommend....[A]
valuable addition to the rapidly growing literature on shame.
--Psychoanalytic Quarterly, 4/28/1991
