The chapters in this wonderful book are informative, intelligent, and occasionally startling. Emotion and consciousness are two of psychology's hottest topics, and this book explores their collision. As you might expect, the bang is a big one.--Daniel Gilbert, PhD, Department of Psychology, Harvard UniversityThis book represents a blossoming-out of a number of important trends in thinking about emotions. Major issues related to unconscious and conscious processes in emotion--such as cognition-emotion interactions, affect induction, and embodiment in perception and thought--are examined in the context of closely reasoned and expertly executed research programs. Several chapters present promising developments of new research streams, substantially adding to insight and knowledge. Brimming with information, this is a well-written, challenging text for graduate-level students interested in current research areas and controversies in the field.--Nico H. Frijda, PhD, Department of Psychology (Emeritus), University of Amsterdam, The NetherlandsAlthough agreement remains scarce, emotions/m-/both conscious and unconscious/m-/are attracting unprecedented attention in human psychology. A banquet of theoretical perspectives is well shared in this stimulating volume, whose contributors seek to penetrate the scientific and philosophical mysteries of affective experience. Will be of interest to all those concerned with ongoing controversies in emotion studies.--Jaak Panksepp, PhD, Department of Psychology (Emeritus), Bowling Green State University; Affective Neuroscience Research Program, Falk Center for Molecular Therapeutics, Northwestern University-Remarkable....A rich tapestry that includes crucial summaries of state-of-the-science research and theorizing and the articulation and interrogation of key assumptions in the field. The editors did a fine job of bringing coherence to a quite heterogeneous collection of theories, concepts, methods, and research findings by insisting that each chapter explicitly consider the same set of questions and by providing a detailed roadmap to the contributions that in itself is a model of what the new science of emotion can achieve.--Choice, 1/12/2007

Texte du rabat
Presenting state-of-the-art work on the conscious and unconscious processes involved in emotion, this integrative volume brings together leading psychologists, neuroscientists, and philosophers. Carefully organized, tightly edited chapters address such compelling questions as how bodily responses contribute to conscious experience, whether "unconscious emotion" exists, how affect is transmitted from one person to another, and how emotional responses are produced in the brain. Bringing a new level of coherence to lines of inquiry that often remain disparate, the book identifies key, cross-cutting ideas and themes and sets forth a cogent agenda for future research.
