Mind, stress & emotions

Once largely the providence of poets, philosophers, and psychologists, the study of emotions has become one of the most important and topical fields in the biological sciences, particularly neuroscience. This timely book examines exciting new discoveries into how genetic, biological, and environmental conditions generate and shape our moods. More than merely a popular science book, *Mind, Stress, & Emotions* links recent findings in brain science, immunology, and stress research with novel treatment strategies for mood and anxiety disorders. From mood genes to the biological ramifications of parent-child attachments, readers are taken on a tour de force of the science of emotions. In a lively, conversational tone, we are treated to a fascinating look at the modern science of mood in the 21st century. Dr. Gene Wallenstein is eminently qualified to guide readers through this tour. An internationally recognized neuroscientist and expert on the biology of emotions and their disorders, he is a pioneer in the emerging field of cognitive neurobiology, which integrates genetic, physiological, and pharmacological research toward clinical applications in a number of mental health areas.—2003 jacket
