Abstract
This paper gives an overview of the physiological and psychological research in the field of blushing in the 20th and 21st centuries. For this purpose, the literature was comprehensively analysed starting in 1900 based on defined keywords. In addition, different aspects of blushing will be discussed against a psychodynamic background. The work shows how the psychodynamic concepts that have emerged over time differ from the behavioural therapy concepts. An attempt will be made to integrate the current findings into the psychodynamic concepts of shame.
