Excellent text I am a professor who teaches at a graduate program in the areas of developmental psychology. I was very impressed with this text. It is well written, organized, and clear. It describes some of the latest research in this new area, as well as the history of the concepts of guilt and shame in clinical psychology. I was also impressed with the sections describing religiosity and issues related to shame and guilt. | ||
