Reviews

"The field of emotions was in need of such a handbook, and these editors have produced a nice one... the volume is well worth the price to have on one's own shelf." --Margaret S. Clark "This book lives up to its title of truly being a handbook. It is a scholarly, critically minded summary of an area that has often befuddled, and more often been overlooked by psychologists. Kudos to Lewis and Haviland for bringing these world experts together. Handbook of Emotions will prove invaluable to researchers, teachers, and clinicians." --Donald Meichenbaum, Ph.D., University of Waterloo "One of the most complete and authoritative discussions of the human affects....Announces how much progress has occurred since William James's classic essay." --Jerome Kagan, Ph.D., Harvard University "This is an extraordinary volume that will serve as a benchmark for research and thinking about emotions in today's world. Lewis and Haviland have assembled a wide array of superb reviews with indications of exciting new directions. The volume has both depth and breadth. Especially noteworthy are the array of topics in biology, patterns of expression, and intra-individual as well as interpersonal processes. Experts have contributed well written and scholarly contributions that involve diverse approaches, but are accessible to the general reader. The editors have also done a fine job in assembling a number of integrative chapters with overviews." --Robert N. Emde, M.D., University of Colorado School of Medicine


"Simply put, it is the best single-volume compendium of the state of the art in emotion research." -- Cognition and Emotion

"For me, as an analytic clinician and teacher interested in what we know, think we understand, and need to learn about the nature of emotion, this is a book I am glad to have in my library because the editors have offered much here and that directly bears on psychoanalytic clinical work and theorectical understanding of emotion. Additionally, there are many chapters that seem well beyond my current interests and level of expertise, but could be useful at some point in the future...I recommend Lewis and Haviland's HANDBOOK OF EMOTION as a valuable reference source." -- Psychoanalytic Books
