Understanding and Treating the Three Faces of Chronic Shame - Patricia DeYoung, Ph.D.

Presentation: 9:00 AM- 12:30 PM

Registration & Continental Breakfast: 8:30 AM

CE Credits: Three (3) CE Credits 

SUMMARY

The problem of shame is ubiquitous in psychotherapy, as it is in life, but it is often misunderstood. Both those who suffer from chronic shame and those who treat their suffering may understand the problem as rooted in an individual's low self-esteem or faulty patterns of thought or belief. In Understanding and Treating Chronic Shame: A Relational/Neurobio/ogical Approach, Dr. Pat De Young has argued that chronic shame is rooted, instead, in early relational experience, and that therefore the essence of treating shame should also be relational.

In a clinical distillation of her book, Dr. De Young will present a talk in two parts. In the first part, she will trace how shame's power of self-disintegration interacts with patients' self-protections to create quite different presentations of chronic shame, three distinct "faces of shame" that appear in clinical practice - dysregulated, deficit, and dissociative types. In the second part of her talk, working from a relational, psychodynamic perspective, she will discuss ways that therapists can find and create moments of meeting with chronically shamed patients, taking into account the quite different kinds of interpersonal fields these types or "faces" of shame co-construct.
