Summary: 20th Century Masterpiece of Psychology for the Third Milleni
Review: This is the crowning achievement of the work of Silvan Tomkins (1911-1991), the great underrecognized revolutionary hero of psychology in the 20th century. Here his mature thought is brought to bear on the critical affects of anger and fear. Tomkins is the first person in human history to really understand the nature of human emotion, and then to build from that an adequate theoretical understanding of human functioning and personality. No one interested in the human whether from the viewpoint of psychology, philosophy, theology, social science, or the humanities, can afford to be ignorant of Tomkins work. Buy, read and study this volume.
