Emotion dysregulation, which is often defined as the inability to
modulate strong negative affective states including impulsivity,
anger, fear, sadness, and anxiety, is observed in nearly all
psychiatric disorders. These include internalizing disorders such
as panic disorder and major depression, externalizing disorders
such as conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder, and
various others including schizophrenia, autism, and borderline
personality disorder. Among many affected individuals, precursors
to emotion dysregulation appear early in development, and often
predate the emergence of diagnosable psychopathology. The Oxford
Handbook of Emotion Dysregulation brings together experts whose
work cuts across levels of analysis, including neurobiological,
cognitive, and social, in studying emotion dysregulation.
Contributing authors describe how early environmental risk
exposures shape emotion dysregulation, how emotion dysregulation
manifests in various forms of mental illness, and how emotion
dysregulation is most effectively assessed and treated.
Conceptualizing emotion dysregulation as a core vulnerability to
psychopathology is consistent with modern transdiagnostic
approaches to diagnosis and treatment, including the Research
Domain Criteria and the Unified Protocol, respectively. This
handbook is the first text to assemble a highly accomplished group
of authors to address conceptual issues in emotion dysregulation
research, define the emotion dysregulation construct across levels
of cognition, behavior, and social dynamics, describe cutting edge
assessment techniques at neural, psychophysiological, and
behavioral levels of analysis, and present contemporary treatment
strategies.
