Emotions in Psychopathology
In recent years, there has been a groundswell of significant and exciting new work being done in research on emotions and psychopathology. This new volume in the Series in Affective Science examines the relationship between emotions and psychopathology by bringing together current theory and research and the perspectives of leading figures in the field. Each part addresses general issues in the field and contains reports of research focused on emotions in specific psychological disorders, such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorders, and personality disorders. Chapters written by outstanding figures from a number of professional disciplines, including psychiatry, psychology, and cognitive science, represent the diversity of informed opinion and methods of investigation in research on emotion and psychopathology.
A Tear Is an Intellectual Thing

Release Date: 2000-02-10
Is jealousy eliminable? If so, at what cost? What are the connections between pride the sin and the pride insisted on by identity politics? How can one question an individual's understanding of their own happiness or override a society's account of its own rituals? What makes a sexual desire "perverse," or particular sexual relations (such as incestuous ones) undesirable or even unthinkable? These and other questions about what sustains and threatens our identity are pursued using the resources of philosophy, psychoanalysis, and other disciplines. The discussion throughout is informed and motivated by the Spinozist hope that understanding our lives can help change them, can help make us more free.

Boredom is a common human experience. It may strike us as straightforward—a mere absence or lack, an emotional emptiness of sorts—yet it is anything but simple. It is complicated: personal and social, biological and cultural, both ever-changing and constant. It can spur action, both productive and harmful. It affects us differently based on our social identity and standing. Boredom is both a mirror of the complexities of human existence and a cause of them. In The Anatomy of Boredom, Andreas Elpidorou offers a groundbreaking examination of this ubiquitous yet enigmatic dimension of human existence, illuminating its profound influence on our personal and social lives. Through interdisciplinary analysis, careful argumentation, and captivating insights, Elpidorou presents a functional theory of boredom, which understands and individuates boredom in terms of its role in our mental, behavioral, and social existence. This theory provides a compelling synthesis of existing research, connects the present of boredom to its history, and allows us to apply our knowledge of boredom to relatively unexplored domains, such as its relationship to the good life, self-regulation and self-control, poverty and capitalism, advancements in AI, animal emotions, and even aesthetics and art appreciation. Ultimately, the study of boredom is revealed to be more than just an analysis of an intricate and important affective experience; it is also shown to be an insightful investigation into the complexities of human (and even non-human) existence.
