Handbook of Emotion Regulation by James J Gross

Handbook of Emotion Regulation by James J Gross

This authoritative volume provides a comprehensive road map of the important and rapidly growing field of emotion regulation. Each of the 30 chapters in this Handbook reviews the current state of knowledge on the topic at hand, describes salient research methods, and identifies promising directions for future investigation. The contributors – who are the foremost experts in the field – address vital questions about the neurobiological and cognitive bases of emotion regulation, how we develop and use regulatory strategies across the lifespan, individual differences in emotion regulation, social psychological approaches, and implications for psychopathology, clinical interventions, and health.

'This Handbook is an invaluable resource for researchers and clinicians interested in emotion, mood, and self-regulationIt brings together leaders in diverse fields to explore the biological and psychosocial underpinnings and clinical implications of emotion regulation. A suitable primary or secondary text for a seminar on emotion regulation, this volume is likely to become a classic in the field.' - Susan Nolen-Hoeksema, Yale University

'If human beings are fundamentally in the business of pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain, then this book is about the most fundamental aspect of human life. At long last, the world's experts on emotion regulation have come together to provide a grand tour of the research landscape, and the result is well worth the price of admission. Both students and scientists will find much to be learned in these pages.' - Daniel Gilbert, Harvard University

'The Handbook of Emotion Regulation is a handbook in the finest sense - it is comprehensive, scholarly, interesting, and current. Its scope is impressive, moving from theory to clinical application, from cellular to societal levels of analysis, and across the lifespan from childhood to old age. Students will find it accessible, and anyone whose work touches on emotion regulation will find it eminently useful.' - Susan Folkman, Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, University of California, San Francisco

'Emotion regulation is a dynamic, burgeoning research topic. Its siren call toward happier, less conflictual, even healthier lives is hard to resist. Gross has brought together a formidable array of experts to illustrate the ferment, diversity, and uncertainty of the field. This handbook is unique in its coverage. Many of the chapters take adult psychology as their starting point, but ample space is devoted to neural processes, cross-species comparison, and developmental changes in emotion regulation, as well as individual differences and their clinical implications. There are also unexpected but welcome chapters examining the impact of cultural and religious traditions. Researchers who approach this high-profile topic with mixed feelings will be reassured by such a comprehensive and thoughtful progress report from acknowledged leaders. Students will enjoy the chance to sample the field's variety and excitement.' Paul L. Harris, Harvard Graduate School of Education

'An outstanding contribution to the field of emotion research and theory. The chapter authors include nearly all of those who have been doing recent, cutting-edge empirical and theoretical work in this area, and their contributions are clear, succinct, and comprehensive in scope. This is truly a handbook, addressing topics ranging from the biological bases of emotion regulation to innovative clinical applications, and everything in between. Several authors address relevant topics that are not typically covered in books on emotion (e.g., the neurogenetics of emotion regulation). This volume will serve as an important resource for investigators and theorists in emotion research, for professionals who seek to understand and apply the growing body of knowledge regarding emotion regulation, and for graduate students in neuroscience, neuropsychology, cognitive, developmental, personality, social and clinical psychology and related biological, social, and behavioral sciences. It will be required reading for students in my graduate emotion seminar.' - Alfred W. Kaszniak, University of Arizona
