摘要：[1]When I watch shows like Jerry Springer,Ricki Lake,and Montel(I swear I do not do that often), I get the impression that there is no shame remaining in American society. At those times, I tend to wish that there were more shame in our culture. In Shame: Theory, Therapy, Theology,Stephen Pattison instead wants to examine what is wrong with shame -at leasta particular kind of shame. His is an ambitious project. While his arguments are not always successful, Pattison's text nevertheless promotes a deeper reflection about shame in society and the role of shame in Christian theology and practice.[2]Pattisonrecognizes that the accounts and definitions of shame provided by anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists, and others are not always consistent. In explaining this inconsistency, Part I serves as an excellent summary of current academic research about shame. Pattison displays a thorough grasp of the relevant debates, and for the reader who is not familiar with the study of shame, Part I provides a solid introduction to the literature.
