The present paper begins with the particulars of clinical practice in Ireland. Through clinical example, it examines the emotion of shame, widely paired with blame, as a socially acceptable admission of psychological functioning, both in exercising and in denying the communication of more profound feeling. As a necessary emotional outlet, shame authorizes aggressions both large and small. Shame demands that certain acts, often seemingly random and subjective, are to be judged disgraceful in others. Shame demands that someone, everyone, endures hurt, at least through social judgement. Passing through the armoring of shame as social defense, clinical examples focus on the defensive action of foreclosure as an interpersonal act of nihilation, reducing another to no-thing, while at the same time diminishing one's own sense of inadequacy. Discerning this clinical pattern, the author generalizes from practice in a particular place to similar observable patterns, both with different populations, and in different contexts.
本文首先介绍了爱尔兰的临床实践细节。通过临床案例，本文探讨了羞耻感这一与责备广泛相关的情绪，它在表达和否认更深刻情感的交流方面被社会所接受，无论是在行使还是否认方面。作为一种必要的情感出口，羞耻感授权了大大小小的侵犯。羞耻感要求某些行为，通常看似随机和主观的行为，在他人眼中是不光彩的。羞耻感要求某人，每个人，都要忍受伤害，至少要通过社会评判。通过将羞耻感作为社会防御的盔甲，临床案例的重点是排除作为人际毁灭行为的防御作用，将另一个人降格为无物，同时也削弱了自己的不足感。作者通过辨别这种临床模式，从特定地点的实践中推断出类似的可观察模式，无论是在不同人群中，还是在不同背景下。
