Interoception is the body-to-brain axis of sensations that
originates from the internal body and visceral organs. It plays a
unique role in ensuring homeostasis, allowing human beings to
experience and perceive the state of their bodies at any one time.
However, interoception is rapidly gaining interest amongst those
studying the human mind. It is believed that beyond homeostasis
interoception is fundamental in understanding human emotion and
motivation and their impact upon behavior. That link between
interoception and self-awareness is supported by a growing body of
experimental findings. The Interoceptive Mind: From Homeostasis to
Awareness offers a state-of-the-art overview of, and insights into,
the role of interoception for mental life, awareness, subjectivity,
affect, and cognition. Structured across three parts, this
multidisciplinary volume highlights the role that interoceptive
signals, and our awareness of them, play in our mental life. It
considers deficits in interoceptive processing and awareness in
various mental health conditions. But it also considers the equally
important role of interoception for well-being, approaching
interoception from both a theoretical and a philosophical
perspective. Written by leading experts in their fields, all
chapters within this volume share a common concern for what it
means to experience oneself, for the crucial role of emotions, and
for issues of health and wellbeing. Each of those concerns is
discussed on the joint basis of our bodily existence and
interoception. The research presented here will undoubtedly
accelerate the much-anticipated coming of age of interoceptive
research in psychology, cognitive neurosciences and philosophy,
making this vital reading for anyone working in those fields.
