While shame involves a devalued sense of the global self and internal\/external stigmatization, guilt typically pertains to specific behaviors and the desire for reparation, however it can become problematic when there are inappropriate and excessive attributions of control and responsibility. This virtual issue explores the complex roles these emotions play as both clinical symptoms and barriers within the therapeutic relationship. Through a series of diverse case studies, leading experts demonstrate how various modalities, including Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy (MIT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mentalization\u2010Based Therapy (MBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Control\u2010Mastery Theory (Control\u2010Mastery Theory), and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), target these emotions. Each approach offers unique strategies, from shifting evolutionary \u201crank\u201d mentalities to fostering psychological flexibility and social safeness. Collectively, these papers provide clinicians with a comprehensive framework for addressing shame and guilt to enhance therapeutic outcomes and client wellbeing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jclp.70226","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]],"date-time":"2026-09-17T14:00:38Z","timestamp":1789653638000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Targeting Shame and Guilt in Psychotherapy: From Conceptual Understanding to Diverse Therapeutic Approaches"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0703-1534","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"James N.","family":"Kirby","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Compassionate Mind Research Group, The School of Psychology The University of Queensland  Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deborah","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Berkshire Traumatic Stress Service, Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Reading Berkshire UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.45703"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jclp.70087"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","article-title":"Guarding the Bond: Shame and Guilt as Defences Against Social Rejection","author":"Cheli S.","year":"2026","journal-title":"Journal of Clinical Psychology"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psychres.2016.12.056"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jclp.70197"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9781315775821"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ps.20230169"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jclp.23738"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1093\/oso\/9780195114799.001.0001","volume-title":"Shame: Interpersonal Behavior, Psychopathology, and Culture","author":"Gilbert P.","year":"1998"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/a0021466"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jclp.23810"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jclp.70145"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jclp.23500"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_1","first-page":"97","volume-title":"Making an Impact on Mental Health","author":"Matos M.","year":"2021"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1521\/jscp.1999.18.2.181"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jclp.70097"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/acp.1689"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_19_1","volume-title":"Negotiating the Therapeutic Alliance: A Relational Treatment Guide","author":"Safran J.
