“Shame and Guilt: How Science Can Inform Practice"

with nationally recognized presenter

June Tangney, PhD


Friday, August 28, 2020  

Noon – 3:00 PM CDT

In this webinar, Dr. Tangney will briefly summarize 30 years of research indicating that shame and guilt are distinct emotions with very different implications for adjustment and behavior. On balance, guilt is the more moral and adaptive emotion. She will then present a framework for thinking about managing maladaptive shame (and maladaptive guilt) in the therapy context. The presentation concludes with a discussion of the complex roles shame and guilt play in two domains of current concern – the criminal justice system and the COVID-19 pandemic.


Participants attending this live webinar may receive 3 CEs for psychologists.
This program also meets the criteria of an approved continuing education program for mental health practice.
