Publisher's Synopsis
An up-to-date discussion of a wide and representative range of areas in a field of growing interest. The international contributors, many of whom are established authorities in the field, discuss applications to clinical issues and emotion theory.;Wagner presents the most recent theoretical and empirical work in areas ranging from the nature of arousal through emotion theory to interpersonal psychophysiology and applied aspects, such as anti-social behaviour, cardiovascular disease and psychopathology. This is a fast developing field and the contributors demonstrate the direction in which research in the practice of psychophysiology is currently developing.;The book has two major thrusts: the recent attention paid by clinical psychologists and others interested in applied issues to social factors in the phenomena or conditions that concern them; and consideration of the role of physiological factors in the production and experience of emotions.
