Affect-logics or Affect logic is a biopsychosocial notion, introduced in 1988 by Swiss psychiatrist Luc Ciompi, relating initially to schizophrenia and other mental conditions, and later elaborated into a general meta-theory on the interactions between emotion and cognition, expanding from the individual level (psychology etc.) to collective phenomena (sociology, politics and more). It holds basically that affect and cognition, or feeling and thinking, are continually and at all levels interacting with each other in all mental activities, and that there is always an emotional component to any cognitive process. Affect-logics has found practical applications, amongst others in a European version of the Soteria therapeutic communities initially developed in the US (s below).
