Change in Emotion and Mental Health

Edited by Andrea C. Samson, David Sander, and Ueli Kramer, this comprehensive volume provides a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the complex relationships between change, emotion, and mental health.

Understanding the Intersection of Emotion and Mental Health

Research has long established the interconnectedness of emotion and mental health. However, the ways in which change influences this relationship remain poorly understood. This book seeks to address this gap by exploring the various mechanisms of change in emotion and their impact on mental health.

A Comprehensive Framework for Understanding Change

The volume is organized into three distinct parts, each focusing on a different aspect of change: fundamental mechanisms, developmental changes, and changes in psychotherapy. These sections are further divided into five functional domains, including emotion awareness and understanding, appraisal and reappraisal, emotion regulation, emotion memories, and emotion competencies and transformation.
