Its main editor Joel R. Davitz was born in Chicago to Russian immigrants in 1926 and
ended his life as an artist. Early in his career he investigated the ways
emotional states are communicated nonverbally. This work was published in The
Communication of Emotional Meaning. He then developed a widely cited
framework for the language used to describe emotion, summarized in his book
The Language of Emotion (Academic Press 1969). The former is a well-researched
book which draws on studies of Davitz’s and many others.
