A wide range of researchers, clinicians, and academics have come to realize that emotions lie at the heart of many psychopathological disorders. This book assesses the latest research on this important topic and examines the relationship between emotions and psychopathology by bringing together current theoretical and research perspectives of leading figures from a variety of professional disciplines, including clinical, developmental, social, and personality psychology, psychiatry, and philosophy.

This book aims to pinpoint the connection feelings have with behaviour - a connection that, while clear, has never been fully explained. Following William James, Laird argues that feelings are not the cause of behaviour but rather its consequences; the same goes for behaviour and motives and behaviour and attitudes. He presents research into feelings across the spectrum, from anger to joy to fear to romantic love, that support this against-the-grain view. Laird discusses the problem of common sense, self-perception theory, the association between feelings and higher cognitive processes, and also the literature on facial expression, posture, and gaze.
