Generalized Emotion How it May be Produced, and Sentic Cycle Therapy

BY: Manfred Clynes
In this chapter we are concerned with a novel, yet natural way of producing emotions using dynamic expression and touch as a mode for the precise expression of emotions, and as a special, new art form. This way is outside the life-line of an individual, i.e., does not depend on events happening to that person, is controllable, easily achieved, tells us much about the nature of emotion and its communication and results in preventive and therapeutic applications for emotional balance. First discovered in 1968(Clynes,1968,1969,1973a), it probably is still new to many psychologists. Indeed, it can seem novel and perplexing from a social perspective not quite unlike had music been invented for the first time. (Like music, it selectively engenders and utilizes generalized emotion.)
