Review :
"If human beings are fundamentally in the business of pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain, then this book is about the most fundamental aspect of human life. At long last, the world's experts on emotion regulation have come together to provide a grand tour of the research landscape, and the result is well worth the price of admission." - Daniel Gilbert, Department of Psychology, Harvard University, Massachusetts, USA "Brings together leaders in diverse fields to explore the biological and psychosocial underpinnings and clinical implications of emotion regulation. A suitable primary or secondary text for a seminar on emotion regulation, this volume is likely to become a classic in the field." - Susan Nolen-Hoeksema, Department of Psychology, Yale University, USA "The Handbook of Emotion Regulation is a Handbook in the finest sense--it is comprehensive, scholarly, interesting, and current. Its scope is impressive, moving from theory to clinical application, from cellular to societal levels of analysis, and across the lifespan from childhood to old age. Students will find it accessible, and anyone whose work touches on emotion regulation will find it eminently useful." - Susan Folkman, Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, USA "Easy to read, comprehensive, and thought provoking." - APA PsycCritiques "A valuable reference for researchers and clinicians interested in either healthy or unhealthy management of emotions. It also would be an excellent text for graduate seminars devoted to the topic of emotions... Although the field is far from the point of extracting simple evidence-based therapies for emotion-related disorders, this excellent book places clinicians and researchers on a more realistic path toward that laudable goal." - Journal of the American Medical Association "Readers will find diverse perspectives that are carefully integrated throughout the text and make for an edifying experience...5 Stars!" - Doody's Review Service
