I've been Googling "Shame" some and found this quote in a review of a book called "Shame: the Exposed Self" by Michael Lewis:
Quote:

This will be the most important book you ever read if you do not know enough about shame. This book has changed my perspective on how shame shapes my life. One has to use this book as a major stepping stone in understanding how shame is the most powerful driving force in our psychological composition. We are ashamed to think of shame. I truly believe now that even therapists are afraid to talk about shame because it will drive their patients away. However, it is essential that as individuals we come to grips with our perspective on shame or risk a continuation of an “unhealthy shame” based society.
