International Journal of Psychiatry Vingerhoets presents a detailed and accessible model of crying, which illuminates its biological and social function. Through this model, Vingerhoets is successfully able to address the broad issues that underpin the human experience of crying, illustrating how psychobiological, cognitive, emotional, and social processes interact to inform this phenomenon.
