After the Holocaust, survivors often reported feeling guilty for living when so many others had died, and in the 1960's psychoanalysts and psychiatrists in the United States helped make survivor guilt a defining feature of the "survivor syndrome." Yet the idea of survivor guilt has always caused trouble, largely because it appears to imply that, by unconsciously identifying with the perpetrator, victims psychically collude with power. In From Guilt to Shame, Ruth Leys has written the first genealogical-critical study of the vicissitudes of the concept of survivor guilt and the momentous but largely unrecognized significance of guilt's replacement by shame. Ultimately, Leys challenges the theoretical and empirical validity of the shame theory proposed by figures such as Silvan Tomkins, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and Giorgio Agamben, demonstrating that while the notion of survivor guilt has depended on an intentionalist framework, shame theorists share a problematic commitment to interpreting the emotions, including shame, in antiintentionalist and materialist terms. 410 0$a20/21. 606 $aGuilt 606 $aShame 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xPsychological aspects 606 $aHolocaust survivors$xPsychology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGuilt. 615 0$aShame. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aHolocaust survivors$xPsychology. 676 $a155.9/3 700 $aLeys$b Ruth$0938878 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459078903321 996 $aFrom guilt to shame$92476028 997 $aUNINA
