Shame-informed counselling and psychotherapy : Eastern and Western perspectives / Edmund Ng.
Material type: TextPublisher: London ; New York, NY : Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group, 2021Description: xvi, 125 Pages TablesISBN: 9781003105732Subject(s): Shame | Counseling | PsychotherapyDDC classification: 158.3 Summary: ""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 and students a balance of theoretical and empirical evidence for a shame-informed counselling and psychotherapy approach. Drawing on empirical field study evidence on shame, and making references to both Western and Eastern literature on the subject, Ng advocates that shame-informed interventions be applied following or alongside the contemporary counselling modalities and protocols. Using his 15 years' professional practice in the field, he offers a shame-informed counselling and psychotherapy approach which aims not merely to help the individual to cope with or suppress the shame as commonly advocated in current literature, but also deals with its roots through the restructuring of core beliefs and early memories.""--Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
