This softcover features a vertical silhouette and a matte paper texture, offering a grounded aesthetic for curated library displays.

A seminal work in late-century psychological theory, this 1985 edition by Gershen Kaufman explores the profound impact of shame on the human experience. The high-contrast black cover, punctuated by vibrant pink typography and a hauntingly minimalist chair illustration, captures the stark, introspective design language of the mid-eighties academic press.

The interior pages remain crisp and provide a serene reading experience, free from the heavy annotations often found in vintage social science texts. While the exterior shows the gentle patina of use—most notably a soft crease at the upper corner—the volume retains its structural integrity and visual power. It stands as a reverent addition to a modern study or a collection of vintage psychology, offering a deep, academic dive into the emotional landscape of the era.

This item is vintage, over 40 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
