Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... phenomena of hypotrophism can acquire sufficient intensity to cause death. The disastrous effects of administering the last sacraments to the sick have been frequently noted, and Haller mentions the case of a man who passing over a grave felt himself held by the foot and died the same day. Phenomena Op The Short Circuit. As in the case of the phenomena of the interrupted circuit, the phenomena of the short circuit can have for their seat: (1) sensorial neurones, (2) mnesic neurones, (3) superior motor neurones, (4) superior trophic neurones. These can be arranged under the following four heads: (1) Hyperesthesias, (2) Hypermnesias, (3) Phenomena of hypertonus, (4) Phenomena of hypertrophism. 1. Hyperesthesias. Hyperesthesia can be established in relation to the object which excites fear. If that object affects vision or hearing, the subject sees or hears only it, and sees or hears it very clearly. Fear magnifies the object. This is also true for the other senses. Those who are subject to excessive fear of pain have hyperalgesia; the extremely fastidious have hypergustativity or hyperosmia; those who are extremely sensitive to touch, who fear the touch of a peach or velvet have hypertactesthesia; people who fear the cold suffer from hypercryesthesia, while those who fear warmth suffer from hyperthermoesthia. 2. Hypermnesias. Memory and imagination, that is to say, the functions by which the memory images arrange and combine themselves, play a considerable role in fear. The child subject to nocturnal fears suddenly awakes, sits up and fixates a point in space. What it is really looking at is a projected image produced by nervous waves emanating from the neurones of the visual centres and pressing upon the neurones of peripheral vision, i....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do human emotions arise, what functions do they serve, what is their evolutionary background, how do they relate to behaviour and the brain? These questions are put, and answered, in relation to the emotion of fear in this, the second edition of professor Gray's extremely well known book, first published in 1971. In this edition, the text has been extensively modified and brought up-to-date, but the book maintains the style and general argument of the first edition. The author's approach in this book is from a biological standpoint; he emphasises the evidence that has accumulated from experiments by psychologists, ethologists, physiologists and endocrinologists. Although a lot of this evidence has been obtained from animal studies, it throws light on the psychology and physiology of fear in Man. Differences between individuals in their susceptibility to fear are treated with as much attention as the common factors are.

Download or read book Psychology of Fear written by Paul L. Gower and published by Nova Biomedical Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fear is a normal human emotional reaction -- it is a built-in survival mechanism with which we are all equipped. Fear is a reaction to danger that involves both the mind and body. It serves a protective purpose -- signalling us of danger and preparing us to deal with it. The major components of fear are sensations, feelings, cognitions and behaviours. Fear can be individual or collective such as expressed in the national fear in the United States related to terrorism. The Washington DC sniper attacks caused widespread fear in a large geographic region far out of proportion to the real danger. Individuals must cope with fear on a daily basis in a myriad of forms: financial fears, health fears, relationship conflict fears, dental appointments, fears about the future etc. This new book collects important research which helps shed light on important issues in this field which touches all of us each day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fear and anxiety play essential roles in almost every person's life. Fear is the belief that something dangerous or unfortunate may happen in the future. Fear and anxiety are regarded to be unpleasant perceptions with few exceptions, such as the pleasure or joy that people may experience from watching horror movies. Fear and anxiety control many people's reactions to many aspects of life. However, it is well known that perceived fear is poorly related to real risks, and that is the case even when a person knows the real risk. Fear consistently overrides and manipulates facts. Fear may help someone avoid making bad or harmful choices, but it may also make people make decisions that are not beneficial. The book was written to promote a balanced understanding of fear and anxiety. The book shows that many lives could have been spared and many people could have been saved from suffering a reduced quality of life by better management of the emotion of fear and anxiety. The first chapter discusses the various definitions of fear and anxiety and how to approach an understanding of fear. Fear is one of the six innate emotions: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise. The second chapter discusses the variations of the theory of James Lange and the role of various forms of an appraisal. The role of a person's core values is discussed in connection with a person's quality of life. It also discusses the components of a good quality of life and the prerequisite for success in life. The third chapter discusses the neurobiology of emotions. The historical development of the understanding of the function of the "emotional brain" is discussed. How sensory input and memories and imaginations controls fear and anxiety is discussed. The role of the three nuclei of the amygdala in creating the actions caused by emotions, including fear and anxiety, is discussed. The roles of many other brain systems in this complex process are also discussed in this chapter.What specifically happens in the brain when a person experiences fear or anxiety is discussed in the fourth chapter of the book. Many brain systems may be activated, in connection with fear and anxiety. The fifth chapter discusses the neurobiology of threats. What to be afraid of and what not be afraid of is also discussed in this chapter. Fear is a part of the body's alarm system that can warn about the dangers of various kinds that may occur sometime in the future. Signs of danger may come from the outside the body or from the inside the body in the form of symptoms of diseases or signs of a need for fluid (thirst) or nutrition (hunger).The sixth chapter discusses how to minimize the risk of illnesses and other forms of bodily harm, and it discusses what to be afraid of and what not be afraid of. It discusses the benefits of preventive measures such as vaccination and the reasons that these benefits are not fully utilized. Some of the reasons for misuse of medications such as opioids are also discussed in this chapter.

Book excerpt: “A rigorous, in-depth guide to the history, philosophy, and scientific exploration of this widespread emotional state . . . [LeDoux] offers a magisterial review of the role of mind and brain in the generation of unconscious defense responses and consciously expressed anxiety. . . . [His] charming personal asides give an impression of having a conversation with a world expert.” —Nature A comprehensive and accessible exploration of anxiety, from a leading neuroscientist and the author of Synaptic Self Collectively, anxiety disorders are our most prevalent psychiatric problem, affecting about forty million adults in the United States. In Anxious, Joseph LeDoux, whose NYU lab has been at the forefront of research efforts to understand and treat fear and anxiety, explains the range of these disorders, their origins, and discoveries that can restore sufferers to normalcy. LeDoux’s groundbreaking premise is that we’ve been thinking about fear and anxiety in the wrong way. These are not innate states waiting to be unleashed from the brain, but experiences that we assemble cognitively. Treatment of these problems must address both their conscious manifestations and underlying non-conscious processes. While knowledge about how the brain works will help us discover new drugs, LeDoux argues that the greatest breakthroughs may come from using brain research to help reshape psychotherapy. A major work on one of our most pressing mental health issues, Anxious explains the science behind fear and anxiety disorders. Praise for Anxious: “[Anxious] helps to explain and prevent the kinds of debilitating anxieties all of us face in this increasingly stressful world.” —Daniel J. Levitin, author of The Organized Mind and This Is Your Brain on Music “A careful tour through the current neuroscience of fear and anxiety . . . [Anxious] will reward the informed reader.” —The Wall Street Journal “An extraordinarily ambitious, provocative, challenging, and important book. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience (including work in his own laboratory), LeDoux provides explanations of the origins, nature, and impact of fear and anxiety disorders.” —Psychology Today

Download or read book Fear written by Jan Plamper and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2012-12-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a cross-disciplinary examination of fear, that most unruly of our emotions, by offering a broad survey of the psychological, biological, and philosophical basis of fear in historical and contemporary contexts. The contributors, leading figures in clinical psychology, neuroscience, the social sciences, and the humanities, consider categories of intentionality, temporality, admixture, spectacle, and politics in evaluating conceptions of fear. Individual chapters treat manifestations of fear in the mass panic of the stock market crash of 1929, as spectacle in warfare and in horror films, and as a political tool to justify security measures in the wake of terrorist acts. They also describe the biological and evolutionary roots of fear, fear as innate versus learned behavior in both humans and animals, and conceptions of human "passions" and their self-mastery from late antiquity to the early modern era. Additionally, the contributors examine theories of intentional and non-intentional reactivity, the process of fear-memory coding, and contemporary psychology's emphasis on anxiety disorders. Overall, the authors point to fear as a dense and variable web of responses to external and internal stimuli. Our thinking about these reactions is just as complex. In response, this volume opens a dialogue between science and the humanities to afford a more complete view of an emotion that has shaped human behavior since time immemorial.

Book excerpt: Fear is an emotion that is particularly important to human and animal existence. It is a reaction to threatening events and is elicited when self-preservation goals are posed in danger during the pursuit of actions directed at other goals. A common view of fear in the neuroscience literature is that fear triggers the "fight or flight" response, characterised by increased heart rate, breathing, and muscle tension, which allows the individual to escape from danger or defend itself against a predator or non-specific. Based on the presence or absence of a stimulus, the brain regulates the strength and duration of this apparent coping mechanism. When this regulatory system malfunctions, however, it can lead to excessive fearfulness in certain individuals. Excessively fearful individuals appear to have difficulty suppressing the body's response to stress. This book examines the various aspects of this interesting emotion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Neuropsychology of Anxiety first appeared in 1982 as the first volume in the Oxford Psychology Series, and it quickly established itself as a classic work in the psychology and neuroscience literature. It presented an innovative, and at times controversial, theory of anxiety and the brain systems, especially the septo-hippocampal system, that subserve it. This completely updated and revised third edition provides a further updated theory of septo hippocampal function combined with an improved understanding of anxiety. The book includes a new chapter on prefrontal cortex integrating frontal and hippocampal views of anxiety, as well as an extensively modified chapter on personality providing a new basis for further developments of Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory. In addition, numerous figures have been fully updated and converted to colour to support the text. This book is essential for postgraduate students and researchers in experimental psychology and neuroscience, as well as for all clinical psychologists and psychiatrists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Neuropsychology of Anxiety first appeared in 1982, quickly establishing itself as a classic work in the psychology and neuroscience literature. It presented an innovative, and at times controversial, theory of anxiety and the brain systems, especially the septo-hippocampal system, that subserves it. It rapidly established itself as essential reading in the field. This new edition has been thoroughly revised, and updated, and draws upon extensive reviews of data from the ethology of defense, learning theory, the psychopharmacology of anti-anxiety drugs, anxiety disorders, and clinical and laboratory analysis of amnesia. The cognitive and behavioural functions in anxiety of the septo-hippocampal system and the amygdala are extensively analysed, as are their separate roles in memory and fear. Their functions are related to a hierarchy of additional structures that control other forms of defensive behaviour. The resulting theory is applied to the typology, symptoms and therapyof anxiety and phobic disorders, and to the symptoms of amnesia. This book will be a valuable reference text for researchers and graduate students in psychology, clinical psychology, psychiatry, psychopharmacology, neuroscience, and neurology Reviews of the first edition '... a rich and provocative book, packed with experimental data and theoretical ideas... truly a magnificent opus. The synthesis of behavioural, neurochemical, and clinical data is a major advance in our study of the brain.' Behavioral and Brain Sciences '... deserves to be read by all who are interested in extending neurology into psychiatry.' British Medical Journal
