Abstract

First I present an outline of an understanding of shame, drawing on the work of Kohut and the concept of self-psychology and the writing of Kegan and his model of the developing structure of the self. This is illustrated with clinical examples. I then discuss the use of mirroring in group analysis as a way of working with shame in order to facilitate the developmental process in patients with little coherent sense of self.
