Emotions: basic products of human functioning, intimately involved in physical health, they have been alternately embraced and ignored by generations of researchers and practitioners. Emotion Regulation offers a much-needed corrective to the conventional clinical wisdom, updating the knowledge base on emotions—specifically their expression and inhibition—as they affect stress, health, and well-being. An international team of researchers from a variety of fields sort out conflicting affect/health theories, and provide the latest findings on inter- and intrapersonal functions of emotions while acknowledging the role of individual variables. The book covers conceptual, developmental, and clinical issues and balances core topics with emerging areas of interest, including: Non-expression of emotion in the affective disorders, and innovative approaches to treatment. Five types of alexithymia, and their relationships to health problems. Aggression as maladaptive coping. Emotional suppression in eating disorders. Children’s somatic complaints: an emotional-competence perspective. Attachment perspectives on adult crying. Emotional intelligence: is it really intelligence, and can it really be assessed? Clinical applications of the writing disclosure paradigm. This wealth of insights makes Emotion Regulation a practice-enhancing work of particular interest to clinical and health psychologists, neuropsychologists, and psychiatrists working in medical settings. The book is comprehensive enough to be a useful postgraduate text for these and related fields. .

Mobility of mankind has increased enormously in the past few decades. People leave their homes and native countries for business and study, for vacation or to flee from unsafe conditions like wars and natural disasters. In all cases the sojourner faces a dual challenge of breaking with the familiar home environment and adjusting to new surroundings. This book deals with the psychological and health consequences of leaving the familiar home and the process of creating a new one. The focus is mainly on acculturation stress and homesickness, which both are relevant to those who travel. Acculturation refers to the process and outcome of a person's encounter with, and adaptation to, a culturally new and different environment. Homesickness is defined as a depression-like reaction to leaving one's home. The contributions in this book present empirical data as well as theoretical and conceptual discussions. Causes, consequences, moderating variables, and theoretical explanations are discussed. Both short-term (e.g., vacations) and long-term (e.g. immigration) separations from home receive attention. By combining these different but related topics, this book provides a valuable overview for researchers, teachers, students and professionals working with people who present with problems related to migration or traveling.

Bij lichamelijke klachten en ziekten spelen gedrag en psychosociale factoren een grote rol. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat ook socioculturele en politiek-economische aspecten van invloed zijn op de gezondheid van de mens. Zo kan een derde deel van de sterfte aan kanker aan gedragsfactoren worden toegeschreven en blijken mensen uit de lagere sociale klassen meer gezondheidsklachten te ervaren. Inmiddels is het allang geen uitzondering meer dat bij de diagnostiek en behandeling van patiënten met lichamelijke aandoeningen psychologische methoden en technieken worden toegepast.Dit boek behandelt de meest voorkomende lichamelijke klachten en ziekten vanuit het gezichtspunt van de Behavioural Medicine. Het beschrijft hoe de psychologie aan de behandeling ervan kan bijdragen. Per aandoening wordt een overzicht gegeven van symptomatologie, epidemiologie, psychologische en sociale aspecten, diagnostiek en behandeling. Nieuw in deze geheel herziene vierde editie is een hoofdstuk over eHealth. In de speciële hoofdstukken beogen compacte behandelprotocollen de lezer snel te informeren over de klinische toepassing van de behavioural medicine-benadering.Sinds de verschijning in 1986 van 'Behavioural Medicine: psychologische behandeling van lichamelijke aandoeningen', de voorloper van deze uitgave, heeft Behavioural Medicine een stormachtige ontwikkeling doorgemaakt. Zo goed als alle ziekenhuizen hebben tegenwoordig een afdeling Medische Psychologie. Ook medici en psychologen werken steeds nauwer samen op het terrein van zowel onderzoek als patiëntenzorg. En op verschillende Nederlandse en Belgische universiteiten worden (klinisch) gezondheidspsychologen en medisch psychologen opgeleid. Het belang van Behavioural Medicine wordt dus steeds meer onderkend.'Psychologie en geneeskunde - Behavioural Medicine' is geschreven voor huisartsen, psychologen die als practicus of onderzoeker werkzaam zijn in de somatische gezondheidszorg, medisch specialisten, fysiotherapeuten, verpleegkundigen en studenten die een opleiding voor een van deze beroepen volgen.
