Media Reviews

Interest in the relations between memory and emotion has grown exponentially in the last 30 years. This collection is an excellent state-of-the-art overview of the area providing in-depth discussions of biological, cognitive, developmental and clinical issues. Fergus Craik, Rotman Research Institute, Toronto This book is an excellent and accessible source for recent theoretical and empirical advances in research on emotion and memory. The eclectic mix of chapters, which offer critical examination of pivotal and controversial issues, make the book suitable both for the specialist and for students interested in getting acquainted with the field. Morris Moscovitch and Deborah Talmi, University of Toronto Arising out of a conference held in Japan in 2005, this book includes essays on cognition, aging and the brain, and psychopathology. Uttl, Ohta, and Siegenthaler (all Tokyo Univ. of Social Welfare) include essays that report basic research findings along with those with an applied focus, either clinical or forensic, a valuable feature. Also noteworthy is the inclusion of essays that take diametrically opposing viewpoints on a topic. K. S. Milar, Earlham College This a valuable volume ... .I found the book very readable ... .It contains a carefully selected set of reviews and theoretical discussions. Metapsychology
