title: [Reclaiming the feeling of shame].
abstract: The author resorts to Bleger's conception of regression to ambiguity in order to achieve an understanding of patients who have suffered from extreme situations such as torture, disappearance, concentration camp. The regression to ambiguity that helped these patients to survive and that elicits extreme feelings of shame must be gradually diminished so that older intact ego components as well as the original feelings of shame can be reclaimed.
