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.Demos, E. Virginia is the author of 'Exploring Affect The Selected Writings of Silvan S. Tomkins' with ISBN 9780521448321 and ISBN 0521448328.
