Abstract

This article explores some implications of Sullivan's (1953, p. 32) postulate that “everyone is much more simply human than otherwise....” Comparisons with seemingly similar statements by philosophers, poets, and emotion theorists may clarify what Sullivan meant. The author discusses her own theoretical and clinical applications of Sullivan's concept and focuses on the emotions of joy and sorrow, as quintessentially “simply human” experiences.
