Description
This provocative and practical guide, well-received in its cloth edition, shows readers how to avoid being victimized by excessive guilt and gives proven techniques for overcoming guilty feelings about failure and success. By exposing the sources of guilt, it helps readers recognize the different types of guilt and better understand, confront, and control their own guilt. The first part deals with the causes of guilt, its manifestations, where it originates, how it works in the family and in personal relationships, and how it is manipulated by advertisers and salesmen. The second part focuses on how to let go of the guilt the reader has been carrying around for years. The cloth edition of this book was published in 1986. The book should be of interest to the general reader interested in self-help subjects, as well as psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers.
