In January, we will be discussing:

Tomkins, S. "The Impact of Humiliation: General Images and Strategies", AIC (Vol. 2, Chapter 19: pp. 427-448).

Tomkins, S. "Anger in Depressive Scripts", AIC (Vol. 3, Chapter 34:pp. 821-838).

Readings include not only the work of Tomkins (specifically, we are reading through the volumes of his

magnus opus Affect, Imagery, Consciousness) but of other researchers related to Affect Script theory.

These are relatively casual Zoom interactions, but participants are expected to have, at minimum, a mid-level knowledge of Tomkins’ basic ideas, particularly affect theory and the innate activator model. Sessions are held the last Monday of each month at 7:30 pm and typically last 90 minutes.
