Review
"This book served as the core reference for a graduate seminar I taught on emotion theory and research. All of the students found the assigned readings to be highly readable and comprehensive. I can't think of a better resource on the current status of emotion research for both graduate students and advanced undergraduates."--Alfred W. Kaszniak, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Arizona
"An excellent text for graduate-level courses on emotion and motivation....In addition, graduate students and faculty alike can use the Handbook as a springboard for developing their research ideas on various emotion-relevant topics."--Julie Hakim-Larson, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Windsor, Canada
"This comprehensive, scholarly Handbook will further propel interest in the role of emotion. The first edition was named a Choice magazine Outstanding Academic Book of 1995. It is likely that the present second edition will garner similar accolades. It has my vote! Highly recommended for researchers and clinicians." --Donald Meichenbaum, PhD, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychology, University of Waterloo
"Emotion is a complex area, and one to which readers bring widely varying interests, biases, and levels of sophistication. This volume does very well in covering the basic and applied topics that are relevant to a broad audience. Presented by a distinguished group of experts who have much of import to say, the second edition of the Handbook is valuable as both a professional resource and a graduate-level text." --Richard S. Lazarus, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley
"This is a collection of extraordinarily cogent and well-written essays and authoritative reviews of the literature. Its coverage is very broad, reflecting the pervasive role of emotion in neuroscience, the social sciences, and the humanities. It is truly a handbook--in the classic sense of a standard reference source--and it is the only book in the field that is worthy of the designation." --Joseph J. Campos, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley
