الوصف: This article examines the role that shame plays in inducing and maintaining depression; the author proposes that chronic depressed states serve a function of neutralizing the painful awareness of shame. The similarities and differences between shame and guilt are discussed. It is suggested that concealed shame produces a debilitated state of mind in which feelings of rage and revenge are kept in check and blanketed by self-directed anger – depression. In this view depression has both a protective function and is a form of communication. Vignettes from an analytic therapy group illustrate how these themes can be worked with such that group members are enabled to move towards developing a clearer sense of self.
