Course Overview In the beginning God created the serpent Envy. And Envy incited Omniscience, which God punished by Shame and Guilt. And Shame took unto wife Miss Attuned, and they begat more Envy and Guilt. The role of shame, prime indicator of attachment and the primitive relational bond, has been under-emphasized in our clinical praxis, to its detriment. Freud's earliest formulations of conflict and defense emphasized shame dynamics, but by 1905, as his attention turned to intrapsychic fantasy, shame was almost completely eclipsed by analytic thought. The simultaneous publication in 1971 of Kohut and of Helen Block Lewis revived interest in shame, and brought attention to its ubiquity as a "veiled accompaniment" of clinical phenomena as divergent as Narcissism, omnipotence, envy, addictions, dissociation, masochism, and as a major factor in impasses and negative therapeutic reactions. In these seminars we will study shame from several perspectives, including developmental, intersubjective, and psycho-neurobiological. Case material from a profoundly dissociative patient and two differently organized borderline patients will be used to ground these ideas. Tracing shame's impact on the familiar and enduring dynamics of anxiety, envy, guilt, and aggression adds potency and dimension to our work. However illuminating and indispensable these concepts are to our clinical imaginations, they are not sufficient in themselves. They benefit greatly from being brought into dialogue with models that conceptualize resistance, aggression, destructiveness, and the impasses and negative therapeutic reactions that may arise from defenses against unmitigated shame.
