Human Feelings provides a comprehensive overview of the role of
emotions in human life. Growing out of the research and writing of
members of the Harvard Affect Study Group, the volume brings to
bear different disciplinary outlooks and different modes of inquiry
on various aspects of human affective experience. The book opens
with an section of "Theoretical Considerations" that includes an
overview of affective development across the life cycle, an
examination of affect and character, and an empirical analysis of
gender differences in the expression of emotion. A series of
clinical reports involving patients in different age groups
comprises the next section, "Affect and the Life Cycle." Subsequent
sections on "Trauma, Addiction, and Psychosomatics" and
"Transformations of Affect" traverse the realms of neurobiology,
addictive suffering, stress disorders, epistemology, creativity,
and social organization. A final section, "New Directions," further
extends the frontiers of inquiry into nonordinary states of
consciousness and the vicissitudes of well-being.
An integrative collection of multidisciplinary sweep and
scholarly integrity, Human Feelings is a readable source book that
brings together rigorous theoretical and developmental studies,
experientially vivid self-reporting, and a wealth of illustrative
clinical material. An invaluable addition to the libraries of
mental health professionals and developmental researchers, this
volume will be illuminating for philosophers, social and political
scientists, and lay readers as well.
