“Guilt is a rope that wears thin.” – Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
The ability to feel true guilt is a developmental achievement and very few people will admit to not feeling guilt. While this may seem to be related to an internal cathexis of guilt-as-regulator – the idea that guilt is effective as a controller of one’s own or other’s behaviour is actually illusory. At the same time, the idea that guilt may not be present or useful stimulates an anxiety that without it we would be at the mercy of primitive impulses. Clearly – guilt as a concept is multi-layered, multi-faceted and more complex than it seems at first.
At this intellectually stimulating and therapeutically oriented seminar, Dr Jan McGregor Hepburn draws on her new book Guilt and Shame: A Clinician’s Guide – to help us delve deep into the complications that guilt presents in our clinical settings and uses case-vignettes to specifically discuss:
Overall, the aim of the webinar is to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying nature of guilt with a view to guiding our therapeutic endeavours.
