About
Description
Tomkins is a brand dedicated to advancing our understanding of human emotion, behavior, and motivation through the groundbreaking work of Silvan Tomkins. By exploring his affect theory, Tomkins offers a comprehensive and compelling explanation of the complexities of human experience. At the core of Tomkins' theory are nine affects that are present from birth and combine to form emotions.
These affects, along with the face as the primary organ of affect, shape our responses to positive and negative experiences. When positive affects are thwarted, feelings of shame can arise. Affective learning becomes programmed as scripts, influencing our ideology and shaping how we respond to affects throughout our lives.
As a result, Tomkins' work has implications across various domains, including couples, parenting, education, neuroscience, and the workplace. Through study groups, annual meetings, and a supportive community, the Tomkins Institute invites individuals to delve deeper into Tomkins' theory and its practical applications. By becoming a member, you can contribute to the ongoing exploration and understanding of human emotion and behavior
