Book Overview
In our high-speed culture, terms like stressed-out, Type-A personality, biofeedback, and relaxation response have become commonplace. In the 1990s more than ever before, we are aware of the relationship between our mental and emotional states and our physical well-being. Findings from the field of psychophysiology, which investigates the reflexive interaction between psychology and physiology, have revised our approach to illness and its prevention and treatment. We know, for example, that stress, combined with other factors, increases vulnerability to heart attack and stroke. Successful treatment must include lifestyle changes to reduce the effects of stress on the body.

Psychophysiology: The mind-body Perspective
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is a very readable book that give an excellent introduction to the systems of the body and how they interact with psychology. It is ideal for undergraduates, a graduate course with multi-disaplinary students, and those who want to extend their knowledge into this area (perhaps from psychology or physiology). However, if you are already familiar with many psychophysiological interactions, this book will probably not have the depth you require.
