Emotional Expression and Health looks at the role emotional
expression and inhibition may play in staying healthy or falling
ill. Written by leading experts in the field, chapters focus on: *
how we can measure emotional expression or inhibition and how we
can distinguish between their various facets * the role of
attachment, and development of emotional information processing *
alexithymia, emotional suppression, deception, emotional
disclosure, defensiveness, repression, psychological mindedness,
and emotional intelligence and self-efficacy. This unique approach
will be of interest to all those in the fields of health and
medical psychology and psychiatry, and behavioural medicine, as
well as professionals working with patients in whom emotional
expression or inhibition may play a role in a disease's etiology,
course, or prognosis.
The authors are to be commended for producing a single volume which
draws together cutting edge research on the psychology of emotional
expression and health -o Dr. Alan Carr, University College Dublin,
Ireland This book is a gem...it is an outstanding work with a focus
on an ever-expanding field of research and practice -o Michael
Boulton, Keele University Emotional Expression and Health covers
the major themes that are important for gaining insight into the
role of emotional expression and inhibition may play in staying
healthy or falling ill. Written by leading experts in the field,
chapters rely on thorough theory building and empirical research.

Emotion is a basic phenomenon of human functioning, most of the
time having an adaptive value enhancing our effectiveness in
pursuing our goals in the broadest sense. Regulation of these
emotions, however, is essential for adaptive functioning, and
suboptimal or dysfunctional emotion regulation may even be
counterproductive and result in adverse consequences, including a
poor well-being and ill health. This volume provides a state-of-the
art overview of issues related to the association between emotion
regulation and both mental and physical well-being. It covers
various areas of research highly relevant to both researchers in
the field and clinicians working with emotion regulation issues in
their practice. Included topics are arranged along four major
areas: * (Neuro-)biological processes involved in the generation
and regulation of emotions * Psychological processes and mechanisms
related to the link between emotion regulation and psychological
well-being as well as physical health * Social perspective on
emotion regulation pertaining to well-being and social functioning
across the life span * Clinical aspects of emotion regulation and
specific mental and physical health problems This broad scope
offers the possibility to include research findings and
thought-provoking views of leading experts from different fields of
research, such as cognitive neuroscience, clinical psychology,
psychophysiology, social psychology, and psychiatry on specific
topics such as nonconscious emotion regulation, emotional body
language, self-control, rumination, mindfulness, social sharing,
positive emotions, intergroup emotions, and attachment in their
relation to well-being and health. Chapters are based on the
"Fourth International Conference on the (Non) Expression of
Emotions in Health and Disease" held at Tilburg University in
October 2007. In 2007 Springer published "Emotion Regulation:
Conceptual and Clinical Issues" based on the Third International
Conference on the (Non) Expression of Emotion in Health and
Disease," held at Tilburg University in October 2003. It is
anticipated that, depending on sales, we may continue to publish
the advances deriving from this conference.
An increasing number of studies have been conducted on the role
of expression and regulation of emotion in health. Emotion
Regulation addresses the question of these studies from diverse
angles while encompassing conceptual, developmental, and clinical
issues. Central concepts discussed in this volume that are related
to health include: coping styles and aggression, alexithymia,
emotional intelligence, emotional expression and depression,
emotional expression and anxiety disorders, in addition to the
emotional competence in children. The book is unique in describing
up-to-date theories and empirical research in the area of emotional
expression and health.
