Change in Emotion and Mental Health provides conceptual, experimental, and methodological advances concerning the multiple roles of "change" in affective sciences, and also in developmental psychology, psychopathology, and psychotherapy, by adopting a focus on emotion and mental health. The volume is organized in three parts: 1) Fundamental mechanisms of change in emotion, 2) Developmental changes, and 3) Changes in psychotherapy. Each part includes five chapters on five functional domains: 1. Emotion awareness and understanding 2. Appraisal and reappraisal 3. Emotion regulation 4. Emotion memories 5. Emotion competencies and transformation
