No place to hide: The group leader's moments of shame

Article Abstract:

A self-psychological or intersubjective approach is used to suggest how group therapists can recognize and work with their feelings of shame, in order to further a dialogue among group therapists to process their shame by openly discussing its phenomenology and dynamics. A clinical vignette is presented, describing instances of shame of a group therapist, how she coped with it and recovered from the experience, and its impact on group members.
