Publisher's Synopsis
Clinical psychophysiology is a relatively new discipline and the aim of this handbook is to promote the role that psychophysiological concepts, principles and theories can play in the understanding of clinical phenomena.;In the first section, the aim is to provide a comprehensive review of the scientific background of psychophysiology as it applies to clinical problems. In the second part an attempt has been made to provide a coverage of common clinical problems with examples of how psychophysiological techniques can usefully be applied. Many diverse disciplines have contributed to the present status of clinical psychophysiology, including experimental psychology, psychosomatic medicine, physical medicine, psychiatry, physiology and the neurosciences.;The text should be of benefit to both the fundamental researcher, providing relevant clinical background information, and to the clinician, by explaining basic psychophysiological principles.
