This volume examines the role of attention in the self-regulation of emotion and offers new interpretations of the results of studies on attention and emotion, as well as a new integrative cognitive-psychological model that focuses on cognitive processes rather than the content of thought. It discusses emotion, attention, and information processing, including basic conceptual and theoretical issues, the selection of emotional stimuli, attentional bias in emotional disorders like depression and anxiety, affective bias in attention, and attention deficits in emotional disorders; cognitive content and process in emotional disorders, including distressing intrusive thoughts, interactionist approaches to stress, self-focused attention, attention manipulations, and whether attentional disorder is the cause or consequence of emotional problems; and a new theoretical model of attention and self-regulation that explains the development and maintenance of clinical problems and accounts for laboratory data on attention bias and performance and its clinical implications. This edition includes a new introduction on the influence of the authors' model in the 20 years since the book was first published. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
