Silvan Tomkins spent a lifetime pursuing answers
to the question "What do human beings really want?"
He developed a grand, innovative theory that integrated biology, psychology, philosophy, cognitive science, the study of personality, and extensive research into the human face, supported by Charles Darwin's early studies on emotion. His major discoveries about motivation, emotion, and cognition led to the development of Affect Script Psychology.
We invite you to join us in the steadily evolving transformation of these visionary ideas into a variety of forms that creatively enrich our lives, our relationships, our communities and our world.
