Shame Guilt and Violence in Shakespeare. Psychology, Applied psychology, Social psychology

Politicians and the political process, even in ostensibly democratic countries, can be deadly.

He focuses on how feelings of shame cause violent and vengeful behaviour, argues that conventional punitive legal and penal systems which are based on notions of justice and retribution perpetuate violent behaviour. This ground-breaking book is a read for everyone touched by violence, all those who are working to prevent it and its consequences.
