The Silvan S. Tomkins Institute is dedicated to the study of human emotion. The Institute teaches the psychology of affect and the scripts through which we manage it, as well as the systems of personal growth and repair made possible by the work of Tomkins and Nathanson.

We have developed programs that make this information available to clinicians, and are now teaching clergy and parents new ways to decrease violence.
