Reviews

“I really like the book. It is, in my opinion, one of the landmark books to be published in the first decade of the new millennium...[Frijda] is one of the founding fathers of contemporary emotions research... and is...well versed in philosophy, history, and literature, and this is evident throughout this book. I can think of no book in contemporary psychology that is as rich in its scope and imagination.” —Robert C. Solomon, Ph.D.
University of Texas at Austin"The Laws of Emotion raises interesting questions about how psychological processes are distinguished... Frijda offers an ambitious integration of ideas about the nature and function of emotions found in the social and biological sciences... The Laws of Emotions reflects a thoughtful stock-taking of much that is known about emotions and how it influences behavior." - Theresa A. Thorkildsen, PsycCRITIQUES
