Guilt and shame

The emotions of guilt and shame accompany us throughout our lives, from childhood to old age. They affect healthy individuals and those with psychological disorders, decent people and lawbreakers alike. The author reveals the forms of guilt and shame in psychological literature and fiction. He also illustrates the complexity of these emotions through the experiences of people he has met as a psychotherapist and a forensic expert. In the audiobook, the author describes specific cases of people who committed crimes motivated by feelings of shame, guilt, or fear, and seeks to explain their behaviour from a professional perspective.
