From the Back Cover

The role of emotion is now recognised as essential in the concept of mind. Emotions mediate between our inner mental life and our perceptions of, and interaction with, the world of events, people and things. This unique volume offers a comprehensive account of current knowledge and research on the interaction between cognition and emotion, a field that has now achieved a prominent place in contemporary psychology and psychiatry.

The editors have brought together a group of authors that includes most of the distinguished researcher who have helped to develop this field over the last twenty years, and who have helped to develop this field over the last twenty years, and who here provide critical, integrative and up-to-date accounts of all the important component areas in the field. The volume is organised in major sections on the nature of the interaction of emotion and cognition, research in related cognitive and emotional processes, theories of cognition and emotion, and implications of this knowledge for the study of emotional experience as well as applied work and interventions in the field of emotional disorders.

No library in psychology, psychiatry or social sciences will be complete without this important resource for students, researchers and practitioners.
