AlbakiReads Editorial
A depth-psychology study of shame, creativity, and artistic practice
Deborah Cluff brings Jungian and depth-psychological frameworks into conversation with research on shame, creativity, and art making. The book surveys historical and contemporary ideas about shame alongside psychobiological studies, then centers participants’ accounts of shame experiences from research conducted across three countries. Through heuristic inquiry and interpretative phenomenological analysis, it examines how artistic practice figures in participants’ negotiations with shame. Archetypal material—especially Dionysian dimensions—forms a recurring interpretive lens, while comparative research situates the psychological processes discussed. This is a research-oriented examination of self-conscious emotion and creative expression rather than a practical art-therapy manual.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Graduate students and researchers in psychology, the arts, and creativity studies
- Jungian psychotherapists and other mental-health professionals interested in shame
