We are hardwired to connect with one another, and we connect through our emotions. Our brains, bodies, and minds are inseparable from the emotions that animate them.Normal human development relies on the cultivation of relationships with others to form and nurture the self-regulatory circuits that enable emotion to enrich, rather than enslave, our lives. And just as emotionally traumatic events can tear apart the fabric of family and psyche, the emotions can become powerful catalysts for the transformations that are at the heart of the healing process.
In this book, the latest addition to the Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology, leading neuroscientists, developmental psychologists, therapy researchers, and clinicians illuminate how to regulate emotion in a healthy way. A variety of emotions, both positive and negative, are examined in detail, drawing on both research and clinical observations. The role of emotion in bodily regulation, dyadic connection, marital communication, play, well-being, health, creativity, and social engagement is explored. The Healing Power of Emotion offers fresh, exciting, original, and groundbreaking work from the leading figures studying and working with emotion today.

Review of The Healing Power of Emotion
If you are unacquainted with any of the authors of the chapters of this volume (or several of them), and have an interest in contemporary clinical neuroscience of emotion, stop reading this review, get--and read--this book. You really wont find a better group to discuss the nuances and perspectives on this topic. If you are on the fence, well-versed in the area, or interested in this book's overall treatment of the topic, read on. In the sprit of disclosure, I am writing as a practicing psychiatrist and psychotherapist already well-acquainted with the larger body of work of each of these authors before I read this book. I also enjoy reading reviews of books I have read, and this longer review--of both the book and the topic--is aimed at like-minded individuals.
Compendiums like "The Healing Power of Emotion" are like a sampler platter, helping the r-eater decide if she likes something enough to buy the entre the next time around. This sampler contains more than enough artfully prepared and nutritious morsels to justify its purchase. Essentially, this book contains a small sample of the writings of some of the preeminent researchers and clinicians on the science of emotion (affective neuroscience), it role in development (infant research), and working with it in several modes of therapy (individual, couples, and family systems). Novitiates to any of these authors will find these "bites" delectable; readers familiar with any of the author's primary works, though, may find few new tastes. Though each of the authors pepper their chapters with recent studies, and a few new ideas, their central themes remain the same.
