Guilt: A Contemporary Introduction. Don Carveth
Emeritus Professor Don Carveth draws on psychological wisdom from religion, philosophy, literature, as well as from empirical research and clinical practice, to understand how guilt influences our lives. Aaron Neaves explores the themes of Don’s latest book “Guilt: A Contemporary Introduction” in a wide ranging, thoughtful conversation. Together they discuss if there a biological basis for conscience; the distinction between persecutory guilt and reparative guilt; if psychopaths and narcissists have a conscience; if psychoanalysis can claim to be morally neutral; how understanding guilt changes our practice of trauma informed care, and much much more.
