  • Decision Neuroscience

    • 2nd Edition
    • Jean-Claude Dreher
    • English
    Decision Neuroscience: An Integrative Perspective presents the most recent and compelling lesional, neuroimaging, electrophysiological... and computational studies, in combination with hormonal and genetic studies, which have led to a clearer understanding of the neural mechanisms behind reward and decision making. The neural bases of reward and decision-making processes are of critical interest to scientists because of the fundamental role that reward plays in a number of behavioral processes (such as motivation learning, and cognition), and because the neural bases have theoretical and clinical implications for understanding dysfunctions of the dopaminergic system in several neurological and psychiatric disorders. This book will constitute a comprehensive update of ground-breaking work addressing fundamental questions about the nature of behavior: how does the brain process reward and how does it make decisions when facing multiple options? And will feature entirely new content, as well as expanded coverage on drug and behavioral addiction, the role of subthalamus stimulation in neurological disorders and neuroeconomics.

  • Encyclopedia of Psychotherapy

    • 2nd Edition
    • David Reitman + 1 more
    • English
    The Encyclopedia of Psychotherapy, Second Edition, Three Volume Set covers the major psychotherapies currently in practice as well as the classical approaches that laid the foundation for the various contemporary treatment approaches. In addition, the encyclopaedia identifies the scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of the therapies and review the theoretical basis of each therapy.The new edition has been thoroughly updated from the first edition, focusing on major modes of psychotherapy practice and core psychotherapy processes. Outdated entries have been culled or combined with other entries in a manner that better communicates the content to present-day readers (e.g., “water-misting therapy” can be addressed in a more cohesive entry covering the use of punishment techniques more generally).

  • The Handbook of Autobiographical Memory

    From Basic to Applied Perspectives
    • 1st Edition
    • Mohamad El Haj + 2 more
    • English
    The Handbook of Autobiographical Memory: From Basic to Applied Perspectives offers a comprehensive view on autobiographical memory from a multidisciplinary approach. The book explores contemporary advances in understanding both cognitive and neural processes, including historical contexts on autobiographical memory theory and assessment. The book further synthesizes insights from cognitive, developmental, and social aspects of autobiographical functioning while also covering departures from norms in terms of autobiographical memory dysfunction. A section on applications equips readers with essential information regarding the assessment and detection of autobiographical memory dysfunction in neurological and psychiatric populations. How such processes evolve over the lifespan, and how deviations from healthy memory function can be supported through novel rehabilitation practices are also covered.
