Abstract
Guilt is an internal moral judgement that aims to modify instinctive survival drives and pleasures in a prosocial direction. Guilt is felt as a specific emotional pain that is part of a bad conscience. Shame and not being fair are other moral modifiers. In traumatic situations, survival drives (survival strategies) are insufficient to prevent suffering of others. Unappeased moral judgements, including survivor guilt, are then relived and avoided like other posttraumatic symptoms.
