Abstract

If the fie ld of psychology can be said to have experienced its age of behav ior and its age of cognition it may now be in its age of emo tion. With the greatly inc reased attention having been given this third membe r of the conventional triumvirate in the past decades it seems as if the conventional boundaries among the three are becoming more penneable (h.m was true in classical psychology. In fact, emotion itself is no longer part itioned, but is widely recognized as having cognitive. behavioral, subjective-fee ling, psychophysiological, and neuropsychological ma nifes­ tations. Further. emotion is widely viewed not simply as a reaction to a sti mulus, but as a proactive means toward personal and evolutionary goa ls. A wor ld view of holism has thus characterized much of our late -century thought on the place of emotion.
