  • 소개/요약Sleep and Affect provides a one-stop source for state-of-the-art theory, methods, and clinical science regarding the interrelations between sleep and affect. Supported by a strong empirical backbone focused on contemporary research outlining links between sleep and affect, this book offers a guide to (1) state-of-the art research methods for studying sleep and affect and (2) contemporary clinical research supporting clinical decision making. As such, this book informs both research design and the treatment of patients suffering from problems related to sleep and affect. In order to provide clear guidance for researchers, the book also outlines future directions for the continued advancement of our understanding of sleep and affect. A plethora of work has shed light on the relationships between sleep and specific psychological disorders (e.g., anxiety and mood disorders). Although this is a critical area of inquiry, fewer publications have more broadly summarized the connections between sleep and affect outside of the context of disorder. Understanding the interaction between sleep and affect from neurobiological, cognitive, and behavioral approaches can reveal how this interplay influences human development, as well as how these factors play a role in the etiology and maintenance of psychological disorders, thereby informing both prevention and clinical intervention. Sleep and Affect addresses this critical gap by reviewing the state-of-the-science on the interrelations between sleep and affect. The first major section of the book provides an overview of neurobiological, behavioral, and functional definitions of key terminology related to sleep and affect. This section is followed by a detailed discussion of the methods used to study sleep and affect. The third section of the book outlines theory and research pertaining to sleep within the specific domains of positive and negative affect. The final section of the book focuses on sleep and affect in specific populations, including children, adolescents, older adults, and people suffering from pain. The book concludes with a synthesis and discussion of future directions for research. This first edition book aims to balance the breadth and depth of available information to provide a resource that is accessible for upper-level seminars within academic settings, while serving as a practical guide for established scholars studying and treating conditions related to the interplay between sleep and affect.
