Cognitive Psychology and Emotional Disorders
The study of emotional disorders from the standpoint of cognitive psychology is new. Presents the state of knowledge in the discipline, drawing together information otherwise widely scattered throughout the literature and covers current speculations about causation and mechanism. Emphasis is on disorders of anxiety and depression, patients' biases in information processing, experimental paradigms which work (and those which don't), interpreting the phenomenology of the emotionally disordered, the relation between conscious and nonconscious processing.
