About this Blog

This blog is meant to be a “jumping-off point” for practitioners who wish to engage with the authors in ongoing dialogue related to skill building in the concepts introduced in Listening With Purpose: Entry Points Into Shame and Narcissistic Vulnerability, a new treatment manual for psychotherapists from Jason Aronson Publishers.

We wish to provide opportunities for online group and individual consultation, as well as a forum for engaging our readers in conversation around questions and ideas generated by the manual. In addition we’ll be posting articles that are relevant to current events as they are related to shame, narcissistic splitting, violence, and bullying.
