Blueprint for Emotion - Why Relationships Matter - Trailer

http://www.heartspeakproductions.ca Dr. Vick Kelly explores the emotional dynamics of restorative conferencing through the lens of Affect & Script Psychology (a short excerpt from A Blueprint for Emotion - Why Relationships Matter DVD (68 min.) available at http://www.heartspeakproductions.ca
Vick Kelly M.D. provides an overview of Affect and Script Psychology, developed by Silvan Tomkins, in an effort to highlight some of the impetus behind emotional experiences during restorative interventions. Affect is the primary, innate motivator of human emotion and behaviour. To comprehend the extent of emotional harm experienced by a victim and the motivation of a perpetrator, it is helpful to understand affect and its scripted responses. All scripted responses are directed by the Central Blueprint - a functional but primarily unconscious program that develops in the brain. As is the case with all emotion, the ebb and flow of emotion during restorative interventions to reduce/repair harm and begin restoration is directed by the Central Blueprint.
