Affect consciousness, or affect integration which is a more generic term for the same phenomenon,〔Solbakken, O.A., Hansen, R. S., & Monsen, J. T. (2011). Affect integration and reflective function; clarififcation of central conceptual issues. Psychotherapy Research, 21, 482-496.〕 refers to an individual's ability to consciously perceive, tolerate, reflect upon, and express affects. These four abilities are operationalized as degrees of awareness, tolerance, emotional (nonverbal) expression, and conceptual (verbal) expression of each of the following eleven affect categories: The Affect Consciousness Interview (ACI) (Monsen et al., 2008), a semi-structured interview, is used to evaluate an individual's affect consciousness. The ACI evaluates the individual's awareness, tolerance, emotional expression, and conceptual expression of each of the affect categories are evaluated using a nine-point Affect Consciousness Scale (ACS);〔 the most current version contains eleven affect categories.〔 The AC-construct and it's psychotherapeutic implications were first proposed and described by Norwegian Psychology Professor Jon Monsen and his associates in the early eighties. The construct has become increasingly popular and more widely researched in recent years. ==Conceptual background== A number of authors and theoretical traditions inspired the development of the AC- construct, most notably Silvan Tomkins’ Basic Affect Theory, Script Theoretical formulations by the same author 〔Tomkins, S. S. (2008a/b). Affect Imagery Consciousness: The complete edition. Volumes 1-4. New York: Springer Publishing Company. 〕 and Differential Emotions Theory (Izard, 1977, 1991). Modern self psychological formulations, specifically those advocated by Stolorow,Brandchaft, & Atwood (1995), Stolorow & Atwood (1992) and Basch (1983) are also central, along with the writings of Stern (1985) and the seminal studiesby Emde and associates (e.g., Sorce, Emde, Campos & Klinnert, 1985) on nonverbal affective communication with infants. Based on Tomkins’ affect and script theory (2008b,1995a), the affect consciousness model posits that affect, along with pain, homeostatic life support processes and the cyclical drives, constitute the primary motivating forces in all human affairs. Of these motivational forces the affects are seen as the primary, and by far the most flexible.
