Vernon Kelly: A Primer of Affect Psychology

Dr. Kelly was the Institute’s first Training Director and has served as Chairman of the Board of Directors. He has taught Affect Script Psychology to students, colleagues, patients, friends, and family since the early 1980’s. For his recent book, The Art of Intimacy and the Hidden Challenge of Shamehe decided it was essential that he convert the basic features of his verbal presentations into a written Primer of Affect Psychology. He believed his readers would benefit from a better understanding of the evolutionary purpose and biological origins of the innate affects. With permission from Dr. Kelly the Primer is reproduced here in its entirety. The book is available at: http://www.shameandmarriage.com/
