A phenomenological-grounded theory methodology was utilized to explore the
transformational healing journeys of five Caucasian men in recovery from pervasive
shame in their lives. An overview of several western approaches to treating shame are
included, as well as two predominant Universal Developmental theories of shame and its
link to the resolution of narcissism. During the thematic analysis of the interviews,
thirteen themes were derived, which constituted a chronological depiction of the story of
shame, as it unfolded in the lives of the participants. Additionally, an in-depth look at the
families of origin, and the beginnings of shame in the participants’ lives is presented, as
well as a picture of how their lives are now, after recovery from their shame. Implications
for counseling were addressed. / ix, 196 leaves ; 29 cm
