Guilt: Origins, Manifestations, and Management (Margaret S. Mahler)

Guilt: Origins, Manifestations, and Management is replete with clinical pearls and highly useful tips for the management of patients driven by feelings of guilt and remorse. Eight distinguished psychoanalysts address the ubiquitous phenomenon of guilt, describing the childhood experiences that form the bedrock of this emotion. They critically assess previously published findings, review diverse theories, and offer illustrative material from the treatment of children and adults.
