<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This important text presents a comprehensive introduction to the history, methods, and applications of psychophysiology and explores other areas concerned with the mind-body interface, such as psychosomatic medicine, behavioral medicine, clinical psychology, psychiatry, neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In our high-speed culture, terms like stressed-out, Type-A personality, biofeedback, and relaxation response have become commonplaces. More than ever before, we are aware of the relationship between our mental and emotional states and our physical well-being. Findings from the field of psychophysiology, which investigates the reflexive interaction between psychology and physiology, have revised our approach to illness and its prevention and treatment. We know, for example, that stress, combined with other factors, increases vulnerability to heart attack and stroke. Successful treatment must include lifestyle changes to reduce the effects of stress on the body. <p/>In this important text, Kenneth Hugdahl presents a comprehensive introduction to the history, methods, and applications of psychophysiology and explores other areas concerned with the mind-body interface, such as psychosomatic medicine, behavioral medicine, clinical psychology, psychiatry, neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience. By showing how social, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional events are mirrored in physiological processes, he gives us a clearer understanding of complex cognitive processes. <p/>This book illustrates psychophysiology's importance as a research and clinical tool and highlights its many contributions to the assessment and diagnosis of physical disorders. It also provides a framework for extending psychophysiological insights to other areas of psychology and neuroscience.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The book has many strengths. Nonspecialists in psychophysiology will appreciate the book for its broad perspective; for the way in which it presents various psychophysiological theories, models, and methods in a comprehensive but brief manner; and for the captivating style of Hugdahl's discourse ...Hugdahl's mission of advocating the need for psychophysiology to step forward into the arena of cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology is timely and well-fulfilled.--Daniel Tranel and Antoine Bechara "Contemporary Psychology"<br>
