This book explores the concept that emotions are not a result of cerebral changes, but rather arise from peripheral autonomic functions influenced by external stimuli. The author presents evidence that emotions originate in the heightened postural tensions of specific autonomic segments, challenging traditional views of emotions as solely psychological phenomena. The book delves into the interplay between the autonomic and projicient sensori-motor systems, proposing that the autonomic system's pursuit of gratification drives the development of the projicient system and ultimately shapes an individual's personality. Through a comprehensive analysis of physiological and psychological data, the author unravels the mechanisms of affective repression, fixation, dissociation, and sublimation, shedding light on the nature of mental illness. This pioneering work deepens our understanding of the fundamental principles that govern the dynamic relationship between the body's physiological processes and the mind.
