"
- Ken Benau, PhD Shame is basic to being human, reflecting explicit and implicit judgments of self, other, and relationship. So, too, is pride, although it has rarely been discussed in the psychotherapy literature. This series will demonstrate the centrality of shame and pride in psychotherapy with survivors of relational trauma, including abuse, neglect, and attachment wounds.
