Why do we think that we can understand animal voices - such as the barking of a pet dog, the meows of the family cat? Why do we think of deep voices as dominant and high voices as submissive.This groundbreaking book presents a thorough exploration into how acoustically conveyed emotions are generated and processed in both animals and humans.

Although collective emotions have a long tradition in scientific inquiry, for instance in mass psychology and the sociology of rituals and social movements, their importance for individuals and the social world has never been more obvious than in the past decades. This book is the first in many years to explore this fascinating and timely topic.

What produces emotions? Why do we have emotions? How do we have emotions? Why do emotional states feel like something? This book seeks explanations of emotion by considering these questions. A successor to "The Brain and Emotion", it describes the nature, functions, and brain mechanisms that underlie both emotion and motivation.

This volume focuses on the relationship between basic research in emotion and emotional dysfunction in depression and anxiety. Following each chapter is a commentary that raises questions and illuminates connections with other bodies of work. Topics range from stress to behavioural inhibition.

This text, on the research into emotions and psychopathology, examines the state of research and the relationship between emotions and psychopathology. It uses theoretical and research perspectives from disciplines, such as clinical developmental, psychology, psychiatry, and philosophy.
