Reviews
From the reviews:
"This book represents the key contributions of a conference on emotions, emotion regulation and health research held at Tilburg University in 2003. … it is mainly directed at researchers, clinicians, and graduate students coming from such diverse fields as psychiatry, psychosomatics, behavioral medicine, health psychology, clinical psychology, and medical psychology, who have already considerable insight into the subject matter. Yet, it is written in such a way that it is understandable by everyone." (Marion Ledwig, Metapsychology Online Reviews, Vol. 12 (18), 2008)
"This book arose from a series of conferences and is intended to summarize key contributions to the emotion regulation literature. It includes information from fundamental and basic science, as well as clinical contributions to run the gamut of important topics. There is a broad audience for this book, including psychologists, psychiatrists, developmental researchers, and neuroscientists. A large international cast of well known researchers in clinical and basic emotion research contributes." (Christopher J. Graver, Doody’s Review Service, August, 2008)
"Editor Vingerhoets … and his co-editors have compiled a series of essays on emotion regulation intended for professionals working in the fields of psychiatry, psychosomatics, behavioral medicine, health psychology, and related fields. … The 15 chapters conclude with extensive reference listings."
