From the series Advances in Consciousness Research. This book is in very good condition, apart from liberal use of a yellow highlighter. The cover is in very good condition, with little sign of wear except at the corners. Internally there is much use of a yellow highlighter pen, and a few marginal notes - otherwise the book is in very good condition - clean and tight. During the last decade, the study of emotional self-regulation has blossomed in a variety of sub-disciplines belonging to either psychology (developmental, clinical) or the neurosciences (cognitive and affective). Consciousness, Emotional Self-Regulation and the Brain gives an overview of the current state of this relatively new scientific field. Several areas are examined by some of the leading theorists and researchers in this emerging domain. Most chapters seek to either present theoretical and developmental perspectives about emotional self-regulation (and dysregulation), provide cutting edge information with regard to the neural basis of conscious emotional experience and emotional self-regulation, or expound theoretical models susceptible of explaining how healthy individuals are capable of consciously and voluntarily changing the neural activity underlying emotional processes and states. In addition, a few chapters consider the capacity of human consciousness to volitionally influence the brain's electrical activity or modulate the impact of emotions on the psychoneuroendocrine-immune network. This book will undoubtedly be useful to scholars and graduate students interested in the relationships between self-consciousness, emotion, the brain, and the body. (Series B)

Synopsis:

During the 1990s, the study of emotional self-regulation blossomed in a variety of sub-disciplines belonging to either psychology (developmental, clinical) or neuroscience (cognitive and affective neurosciences). This emerging domain currently attracts several innovatory researchers and has become a major field of scientific inquiry. This book aims to present theoretical and developmental perspectives about emotional self-regulation (and dysregulation), and to provide cutting-edge information with regard to the neural basis of conscious emotional experience and emotional self-regulation. Another major goal of this book is to expound theoretical models susceptible of explaining how healthy individuals are capable of consciously and voluntarily modifying the neural activity underlying emotional processes and states.
