The views and opinions expressed by this presenter in this lecture are their own, and do not represent the views of Sheppard Pratt.

Humiliation is not just about the intent to shame and degrade, it is a part of the hidden underbelly of trauma treatment for both the patient and the clinician. While attention to the dynamics of shame experience has finally increased over the last twenty years, humiliation experience is often subsumed under the shame dynamic. The sad "fine points of sadistic abuse and other varieties of humiliation experience are lost. Loss of status, and feeling defective are typical humiliation themes. While feeling unlovable is often the province of shame, feeling to be without possibility of redemption is more related to humiliation experience. The significance of exploring humiliation themes comes to life in an intensive psychotherapy where a deepening feeling of being understood by the clinician occurs as these areas are gently probed. On the In these treatments clinician often are preoccupied with an intense fear of shaming by the patient or humiliation in the treatment. This is a pervasive countertransference experience. Thus, a willingness to explore these areas with a patient heralds additional personal work for every clinician bold enough to inquire about or name both shame and humiliation as part of human experience. Both patient and therapist often engage in alternative experiences of responding to attachment needs vs. themes of domination or submission, a constellation I've dubbed "attackment." In this presentation participants will become familiar with these themes and develop an increased consciousness for these issues and ways in which depth conversations can be opened in this delicate territory.

Target Audience

This activity is intended for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, counselors, and other mental health professionals.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this lecture, attendees will be able to:

1. Describe the difference between the words affect, feeling, and emotion as well as the clinical utility of distinguishing between them.

2. Explain how "attackment" describes a shift from proximity seeking in the attachment paradigm to guaranteeing distance when domination-submission, power and control, dynamics overwhelm the interpersonal world of a child.

3. Distinguish between shame and humiliation and describe the utility of these differences in psychotherapeutic discourse.
