This well-worn copy of Patricia A. DeYoung’s “Understanding and Treating Chronic Shame” offers a unique opportunity for collectors and readers alike. Despite its visible signs of use, the book’s content remains a groundbreaking exploration of shame, a pervasive yet often overlooked emotion. DeYoung, a renowned psychotherapist and author, draws upon her extensive clinical experience and integrates findings from neurobiology to offer a comprehensive approach to understanding and treating chronic shame.

Published in 2015, this work arrived at a pivotal moment when mental health professionals sought to deepen their understanding of the complex interplay between emotions, relationships, and neurological processes. DeYoung’s relational/neurobiological approach challenged traditional models, emphasizing the profound impact of early attachment experiences on the development of shame and its manifestations throughout the lifespan.

This particular copy’s well-thumbed pages and annotations bear witness to its journey through the hands of earnest readers, perhaps mental health practitioners or students grappling with the intricate nature of shame. The water damage and library markings further imbue it with a unique history, inviting speculation about the environments and individuals who have engaged with its transformative insights.
