This website will explore the nature of the shame experience, focusing particularly on shame in group psychotherapy. I will discuss how and why shame appears in the group context and how it can be therapeutically managed to the benefit of group members. This website also includes a discussion about scapegoating, and there are a number of information sheets about group psychotherapy.
