This website will explore the nature of the shame experience, focusing particularly on shame in group psychotherapy. I will discuss how and why shame appears in the group context and how it can be therapeutically managed to the benefit of group members. This website also includes a discussion about scapegoating, and there are a number of information sheets about group psychotherapy.

"There is nothing that people bear more impatiently, or forgive less, than contempt: and an injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult." Philip Dormer Stanhope.
“If we consider men and women generally, and apart from their professions or occupations, there is only one situation I can think of in which they almost pull themselves up by their bootstraps, making an effort to read better than they usually do. When they are in love and are reading a love letter, they read for all they are worth. They read every word three ways; they read between the lines and in the margins; they read the whole in terms of the parts, and each part in terms of the whole; they grow sensitive to context and ambiguity, to insinuation and implication; they perceive the colour of words, the odour of phrases, and the weight of sentences. They may even take the punctuation into account. Then, if never before or after, they read”. How to Read a Book: The Art of Getting a Liberal Education. Mortimer J. Adler.
I have learned two lessons in my life: first, there are no sufficient literary, psychological, or historical answers to human tragedy, only moral ones. Second, just as despair can come to one another only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings. Elie Wiesel
