Disgust: The Gatekeeper Emotion

Susan Beth Miller

4.9/5 (26269 ratings)

Description:Miller’s book is a fascinating, psychological study of disgust, an emotion that has received very little treatment in the psychology and psychotherapy literatures. It is written nontechnically and is aimed at a broad psychological and social science readership. She especially examines disgust in terms of boundary issues – how we tend to feel disgusted about things (from decaying organic matter to rotten food to ethnic attributes of people we consider alien) that lie on the border between our sense of self and nonself or between our sense of "good self" and "bad self." This is a general-interest psychological study in which the author looks at the emotion of disgust in relation to each of the sensory modalities (why are certain sights and smells "disgusting" but not certain sounds?). In the second part of the book, she broadens her inquiry and looks at the notion of disgust in terms of issues of group identity (insiders and outsiders), illness and health ("disgusting" images of illness), and even artistic creativity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
