Dental Shame: A Call for Understanding and Addressing the Role of Shame in Oral Health
1 Why Dental Shame? Dental shame is an unilluminated yet widespread phenomenon, holding profound implications for oral health and oral health inequities.

Philosophy and the clinic: Stigma, respect and shame
3 RESPECT AND SHAME IN HEALTHCARE AND BIOETHICS We have already noted that stigma is a category term, and in his contribution to this section of the Philosophy Thematic issue of the JECP, Hutchinson says a little more about this: stigma is a category term, like the term emotion, and it brings together experiences of degradation, discreditation and discrimination.

Beyond a trauma-informed approach and towards shame-sensitive practice - Humanities and Social Sciences Communications
Abstract In this article, we outline and define for the first time the concept of shame-sensitivity and principles for shame-sensitive practice. We argue that shame-sensitive practice is essential for the trauma-informed approach.

Imagining futures for disabled people is frequently seen in terms of technological change. For example, in 2019 the Royal Society published iHuman: Blurring Lines Between Mind and Machine, a report that examined the potential of innovative neural and brain–computer interface technologies.
