Lisa Feldman Barrett

A new theory of how the brain constructs emotions that could revolutionize psychology, health care, law enforcement, and our understanding of the human mind Emotions feel automatic to us; that's why scientists have long assumed that emotions are hardwired in the body or the brain. Today, however, the science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. This paradigm shift has far-reaching implications not only for psychology but also medicine, the legal system, airport security, child-rearing, and even meditation. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose theory of emotion is driving a deeper understanding of the mind and brain, and what it means to be human. Her research overturns the widely held belief that emotions are housed in different parts of the brain, and are universally expressed and recognized. Instead, emotion is constructed in the moment by core systems interacting across the whole brain, aided by a lifetime of learning. Are emotions more than automatic reactions? Does rational thought really control emotion? How does emotion affect disease? How can you make your children more emotionally intelligent? How Emotions Are Made reveals the latest research and intriguing practical applications of the new science of emotion, mind, and brain.

The New Science of the Mind and Brain

How Emotions Are Made

From the author of How Emotions Are Made, a myth-busting primer on the brain, in the tradition of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

Seven and a Half Lessons about the Brain

James A. Russell

This volume presents cutting-edge theory and research on emotions as constructed events rather than fixed, essential entities. It provides a thorough introduction to the assumptions, hypotheses, and scientific methods that embody psychological constructionist approaches. Leading scholars examine the neurobiological, cognitive/perceptual, and social processes that give rise to the experiences Western cultures call sadness, anger, fear, and so on. The book explores such compelling questions as how the brain creates emotional experiences, whether the "ingredients" of emotions also give rise to other mental states, and how to define what is or is not an emotion. Introductory and concluding chapters by the editors identify key themes and controversies and compare psychological construction to other theories of emotion.

Die Freude, Freund:innen wiederzusehen, die Angst, einen geliebten Menschen zu verlieren – unsere Empfindungen scheinen automatisch in uns aufzutauchen, sich in unserem Gesicht und in unserem Verhalten auszudrücken und unabhängig von unserem Willen einfach zu «geschehen». Dieses Verständnis von Emotionen gibt es bereits seit Platon. Was aber, wenn es falsch ist? Die renommierte Psychologin und Neurowissenschaftlerin Lisa Feldman Barrett zeigt auf der Grundlage neuester wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse, dass unsere Vorstellungen von Emotionen auf dramatische Weise veraltet sind – und dass wir den Preis dafür zahlen. Feldman Barrett behauptet: Emotionen sind nicht universell in unseren Gehirnen und Körpern vorprogrammiert; vielmehr sind sie psychologische Erfahrungen, die jeder von uns auf der Grundlage seiner einzigartigen persönlichen Geschichte, Physiologie und Umwelt konstruiert. Diese neue Sichtweise hat zentrale Folgen: Denn wir haben größeren Einfluss auf die Entstehung, Art und Intensität unserer Gefühle, als wir denken.

Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain

La ciencia de las emociones está en plena revolución y este cambio de paradigma tiene implicaciones de gran alcance para todos nosotros. La psicóloga y neurocientífica Lisa Feldman Barrett, cuya teoría de las emociones está impulsando una comprensión más profunda de la mente y el cerebro, revierte la creencia generalizada de que las emociones se alojan en diferentes partes del cerebro y se expresan y reconocen universalmente. Muy al contrario, ha demostrado que las emociones se construye en el momento, mediante sistemas centrales que interactúan en todo el cerebro gracias a toda una vida de aprendizaje.

Cómo se construyen las emociones

La vida secreta del cerebro

È l’organo che più ci contraddistingue come specie, quello che – a torto o a ragione – ci fa sentire superiori agli altri esseri viventi, il fondamento della nostra civiltà e, per alcuni, la sede dell’anima; ma a che cosa serve davvero il nostro cervello, e come funziona?In 7 lezioni e 1⁄2 sul cervello Lisa Feldman Barrett condensa le più importanti e recenti ricerche scientifiche e svela segreti, meccanismi e curiosità di questo nostro meraviglioso organo: al contrario di quanto si crede, non serve per pensare; è fatto come il cervello di tutti gli altri animali e funziona come una rete; durante la crescita è estremamente plasmabile; prevede (quasi) tutto quello che facciamo e collabora con i cervelli delle altre persone; dà origine a diversi tipi di mente ed è perfino in grado di creare e modificare la realtà in cui viviamo.Il nostro cervello non è il più grande del regno animale e nemmeno il migliore in assoluto. Ma è straordinariamente flessibile, perfettamente adattato a ricevere e analizzare l’enorme quantità di informazioni che provengono da altri cervelli o dall’esterno per rispondere alle situazioni più diverse – che sia l’approssimarsi di una minaccia, l’emozione trasmessa dal volto di chi ci sta davanti, l’urgente necessità di cibo... o di una dose di caffeina. Rapide e illuminanti, le 7 lezioni e 1⁄2 sul cervello di Lisa Feldman Barrett demoliscono con ironia miti consolidati e dipingono un ritratto inaspettato di quella massa di poco più di un chilo che ci rende unici e umani.

7 lezioni e 1/2 sul cervello

Handbook of Emotions, Fourth Edition

Peter Salovey

The fundamental concern of psychotherapy is change. While practitioners are constantly greeted with new strategies, techniques, programs, and interventions, this book argues that the full benefits of the therapeutic process cannot be realized without fundamental revision of the concept of change itself. Applying cybernetic thought to family therapy, Bradford P. Keeney demonstrates that conventional epistemology, in which casue and effect have a linear relationship, does not sufficiently accommodate the reciprocal nature of causation in experience. Written in an unconventional style that includes stories, case examples, and imagined dialogues between an epistemologist and a skeptical therapist, the volume presents a philosophically grounded, ecological framework for contemporary clinical practice.

Handbook of Emotions, Third Edition

Eliot R. Smith

Most psychology research still assumes that mental processes are internal to the person, waiting to be expressed or activated. This compelling book illustrates that a new paradigm is forming in which contextual factors are considered central to the workings of the mind. Leading experts explore how psychological processes emerge from the transactions of individuals with their physical, social, and cultural environments. The volume showcases cutting-edge research on the contextual nature of such phenomena as gene expression, brain networks, the regulation of hormones, perception, cognition, personality, knowing, learning, and emotion.

The Mind in Context

Piotr Winkielman

Paula M. Niedenthal

Presenting state-of-the-art work on the conscious and unconscious processes involved in emotion, this integrative volume brings together leading psychologists, neuroscientists, and philosophers. Carefully organized, tightly edited chapters address such compelling questions as how bodily responses contribute to conscious experience, whether "unconscious emotion" exists, how affect is transmitted from one person to another, and how emotional responses are produced in the brain. Bringing a new level of coherence to lines of inquiry that often remain disparate, the book identifies key, cross-cutting ideas and themes and sets forth a cogent agenda for future research.
