Inhaltsangabe
Affectivity, Suggestibility, and Paranoia explains how mood and feeling steer thinking and behavior. It shows how emotions can shape perception, attention, and even delusions.
This book presents a unified view of how affective states influence our minds from everyday thought to conditions like paranoia. It compares affectivity with suggestion, explaining their similar actions on mind and body, and examines how these forces can drive both normal and abnormal thinking. Through clinical observations and theoretical arguments, it lays out how emotions can shape our judgments, expectations, and the interpretation of experiences.
- See how affectivity directs attention and the flow of ideas.
- Learn how suggestion works in individuals and in groups, aligning actions and beliefs.
- Explore how paranoia and delusions may relate to emotional processes, without reducing them to mood alone.
- Understand debates about the origins of paranoid symptoms, including possible functional and biological explanations.
Ideal for readers curious about early psychoanalytic and psychiatric theory, students of psychology and medicine, and anyone interested in how feelings influence thinking and perception.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of human emotions, exploring the nature of affectivity, suggestibility, and paranoia. The author argues that traditional understandings of these concepts are often too vague and require deeper analysis. Drawing on insights from philosophy and psychology, the author develops a nuanced definition of "affectivity," encompassing not only strong emotions but also subtle feelings of pleasure and displeasure that color our experiences. This framework is then applied to shed light on various mental phenomena, including attention, wish fulfillment, and the influence of emotions on our thoughts and actions. The author emphasizes the crucial role of affectivity in shaping our lives, arguing that it often takes precedence over logic and reason in guiding our decisions and behavior. This understanding is then used to explore the mechanisms by which we cope with unpleasant emotions, both in healthy and pathological ways. Ultimately, this book offers a profound exploration of the power and complexity of human emotions, revealing their influence on everything from our everyday choices to the development of mental illness.
