Reviews
“‘The aim of this book is to synthesize empirical research-based and theoretical perspectives on shame in various cultural contexts’ … . This book shows us how we can transcend the divide between the pathological side and the positive side for shame. That is why I highly recommend this landmark publication toboth PP researchers and clinicians.” (Paul T. P. Wong, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (34), August, 2017)
