Lauren B. Alloy, John H. Riskind
2005
This volume explores how individual differences in cognitive processing contribute to the development and maintenance of affective, anxiety, and eating disorders. It delves into specific cognitive styles, such as attentional biases and negative cognitive schemas, demonstrating their role in shaping emotional experiences and vulnerability to psychopathology. The authors synthesize research on the interplay between emotions and cognition to provide a comprehensive understanding of the cognitive underpinnings of these disorders.
