The authors of this book provide an entirely new perspective on hovd emotions influence mental and physical health. They present recent thinking about the development and regulation of emotions and argue that several common but difficult to treat psychiatrie illnesses. including drug addictions. eating disorders. panic disorder and posttraumatic stress disorders. are a consequence of an inability to regulate distressing emotions through mental processes. The book also advances a model in which dysregulated emotions may alter other bodily systems and thereby contribute to the development of physical illnesses and diseases. This book offers a valuable and stimulating reference for clinicians and researchers alike.
