A comprehensive introduction to the work of Silvan Tomkins - a leading theorist of human emotion and motivation.

"...an edited volume of Tomkins's selected writings is of such great value. Though the task was no doubt arduous, E. Virginia Demos has selected and edited a perspicuous account of Tomkins's nearly 50 years of scholarship." Ed de St. Aubin, Contemporary Psychology
Silvan Tomkins was one of the most creative theorists of emotion in the recent past, but he was ahead of his time, and largely ignored. This book gathers together his writings under one cover and makes them available to psychologists, psychiatrists, and social scientists at this more favorable time. His theory is unique in specifying the role of emotion as distinct from cognition and drives. It is truly a bio-psycho-social theory of human emotion and of human psychological functioning.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Silvan Tomkins was one of the most influential theorists on emotion and emotional expression. Over a period of forty years--until his death in 1991--he developed a set of original, important ideas about the nature of affect and its relationship to cognition and personality. Tomkins dealt with fundamental questions in a fresh and provocative way, establishing affect as a separate, biological system, and providing compelling data on discrete affect expressions. Virginia Demos has undertaken the enormous task of compiling Professor Tomkins' papers and writing connective material for this volume, which brings together his works of four decades and makes them available at a more receptive time in the field. It is a rich compilation of insightful and relevant ideas appropriate for researchers and graduate students in personality and social psychology. Silvan Tomkins was one of the most creative theorists of emotion in the recent past, but he was ahead of his time, and largely ignored. This book gathers together his writings under one cover and makes them available to psychologists, psychiatrists, and social scientists at this more favorable time. This item is printed on demand.
