Sexuality and Shame (original) (raw)

Transactional Analysis Journal, 2009

Abstract

This article discusses the development of childhood and adult sexuality from a relational and cultural perspective. The roots of shame are identified and the affect of shame is described. The strong links between sexuality and shame are explored. The author suggests that sexual shame is a Type III impasse, and its resolution within the context of therapeutic relatedness is addressed. The article's central point is the unique, individual, and shifting character of each person's sexuality.
