“Shame is indeed a phenomenon that is both in the brain, the mind, and in
the space between us. Dr DeYoung does a solid job in addressing the chal-
lenges of living with and treating chronic shame using a thoughtful, humane,
and scientific approach.”
—Louis

psychology at Pepperdine University’s Graduate
School of Education and Psychology
“Beginning with diverse clinical vignettes with very dissimilar diagnoses,
Patricia DeYoung tackles the unvoiced but powerful presence of shame that
so often lies at the unspoken core of what troubles our clients. She beautifully
and evocatively gives voice and shape to the annihilating impact of lack of
attunement. DeYoung also makes the point that because shame takes root in
relationship, we must heal it relationally. Equally important, she reminds us
that, to be effective in this work, therapists must engage in their own ongoing
internal work. This special book needs to be read by all of us.”

“Defining shame as first and foremost a relational experience, Patricia
DeYoung unpacks the extensive, damaging consequences of feeling chroni-
cally shamed while illustrating effective treatment in clear, accessible language.
For clinicians who wish to understand and treat shame from the psychody-
namic perspective, this book is a vital resource.”

Understanding and Treating Chronic
Shame
Chronic shame is painful, corrosive, and elusive. It resists self-help and
undermines even intensive psychoanalysis. Patricia A. DeYoung’s cutting-
edge book gives chronic shame the serious attention it deserves, integrating
new brain science with an inclusive tradition of relational psychotherapy.
She looks behind the myriad symptoms of shame to its relational essence. As
DeYoung describes how chronic shame is wired into the brain and developed
in personality, she clarifies complex concepts and makes them available for
everyday therapy practice.
Grounded in clinical experience and alive with case examples,
Understand-
ing and Treating Chronic Shame
is highly readable and immediately helpful.
Patricia A. DeYoung’s clear, engaging writing helps readers recognize the
presence of shame in the therapy room, think through its origins and effects
in their clients’ lives, and decide how best to work with those clients. Thera-
pists will find that
Understanding and Treating Chronic Shame
enhances the
scope of their practice and efficacy with this client group, which comprises a
large part of most therapy practices. Challenging, enlightening, and nourish-
ing, this book belongs in the library of every shame-aware therapist.
Patricia A. DeYoung,
MSW, PhD, is a relational psychotherapist, clinical
supervisor, and a founding faculty member of the Toronto Institute for
Relational Psychotherapy.
