Product Description
Review
"This is one of the best books written to address effects of stress on health. It is well written and it is easy to understand. Experts as well as those new to the field will find this book informative and enjoyable. In his approach to the topic of stress and health, Dr. Lovallo presents well-integrated, coherent coverage of the latest scientific finding from psychology, neuroscience, and medicine. This is indeed a rich and interesting reading to scientists and clinicians all over the world."
(Mustafa al'Absi 20040401)"This book does a splendid job of filling a gap in the literature on stress and health; that gap being the need for an articulate introductory compendium that integrates what is know about the physiology of stress with that of thoughts and emotions. This updated and expanded second edition also ventures into new territories, including two new chapters, one on the topic of central nervous system control of stress hormone secretion and the other on the topic of genes, stress and behavior, describing how genes shape the stress response and how genes can create vulnerabilities to stress. Given the increasing importance that modern medicine is placing on genomics, this chapter is particularly timely. Considering that the new National Institutes of Health Roadmap for Medical Research initiative emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary research that is inclusive of behavior for the success of future clinical research, the material in this new edition will be useful for students and scientists wishing to better understand mechanisms of how our mind and psychosocial factors affect states of health and disease."
(Paul J. Mills 20051221)"Stress and Health...Second Edition is an excellent graduate-level textbook that explores the 'black boxes' that may account for the associations observed between psychological stress and disease.... In sum, this book is highly recommended to instructors of graduate level or advanced undergraduate courses with a focus on the psychophysiology of stress.... This will be a useful addition to your library." (Thomas Kamarck PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY, 42(2005) ) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
Product Description
This thought-provoking book examines the biological links between how we think and feel, and the potential changes in our health that result from stress.
The author examines: how the mind/body dichotomy developed historically, with resultant difficulties for research into how social processes and emotions improve or worsen health; the psychophysiological linkages between cognition, emotion, the brain and peripheral mechanisms by which the body is regulated; and how individual differences in physiology and evaluations of events can have physical and long-term consequences. The book also provides a general understanding of how central nervous system mechanisms connect thoughts and emotions to autonomic and endocrine processes.
In 1928, American physiologist Walter Cannon addressed the Massachusetts Medical Society on the subject of emotions and disease. Read the first page
