About Shame
by Laura Späth
Description
Shame is taboo, shame is painful - and yet each of us has to deal with it sooner or later. But where does this shame come from, what does it do to us and how can we deal with it positively? Starting from her own biography, from shameful experiences in different phases of life, Laura Späth traces different aspects of shame – shame for one‘s own body, for certain feelings or for mental illnesses - and at the same time reveals, with the help of social psychological approaches, what role social structures and power relations play for one‘s own shame. The author pleads for questioning individual feelings of shame, but nevertheless giving shame more space in our lives. She states: We do not have to be ashamed of our shame.
