Emotional Expression and Healthcovers the major themes that are important for gaining insight into the role of emotional expression and inhibition may play in staying healthy or falling ill. Written by leading experts in the field, chapters rely on thorough theory building and empirical research. They focus on how we can measure emotional expression or inhibition and how we can distinguish between their various facets, as well as the role of attachment and the development of emotional information processing. Additional topics include Alexithymia, emotional suppression, deception, emotional disclosure, defensiveness, repression, psychological mindedness, emotional intelligence and self-efficacy. This unique approach will be of interest to all those in the fields of health and medical psychology and psychiatry, and behavioral medicine, as well as professionals working with patients in which diseases, emotional expression or inhibition may play a role in its etiology, course or prognosis.
