It plays a unique role in ensuring homeostasis, understanding human emotion and motivation, and influencing behavior. The Interoceptive Mind: From Homeostasis to Awareness provides a comprehensive overview of the role of interoception for mental life, awareness, subjectivity, affect, and cognition. It discusses deficits in interoceptive processing and awareness in mental health conditions and considers the importance of interoception for well-being. Written by leading experts, the book will accelerate the coming of age of interoceptive research in psychology, cognitive neurosciences, and philosophy. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 368 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31 August 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInteroception is a fascinating body-to-brain axis of sensations that originates from the internal body and visceral organs. It plays a unique role in ensuring homeostasis, allowing human beings to experience and perceive the state of their bodies at any given time. However, interoception is rapidly gaining interest amongst those studying the human mind. It is believed that beyond homeostasis, interoception is fundamental in understanding human emotion and motivation and their impact upon behavior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe link between interoception and self-awareness is supported by a growing body of experimental findings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Interoceptive Mind: From Homeostasis to Awareness offers a comprehensive and insightful overview of the role of interoception for mental life, awareness, subjectivity, affect, and cognition. Structured across three parts, this multidisciplinary volume highlights the role that interoceptive signals and our awareness of them play in our mental life. It considers deficits in interoceptive processing and awareness in various mental health conditions. But it also considers the equally important role of interoception for well-being, approaching interoception from both a theoretical and a philosophical perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by leading experts in their fields, all chapters within this volume share a common concern for what it means to experience oneself, for the crucial role of emotions, and for issues of health and wellbeing. Each of those concerns is discussed on the joint basis of our bodily existence and interoception.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe research presented here will undoubtedly accelerate the much-anticipated coming of age of interoceptive research in psychology, cognitive neurosciences, and philosophy, making this vital reading for anyone working in those fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 722g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246 x 170 x 17 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780198863489\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44513625997562,"sku":"9780198863489","price":32.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1692368553901_book.jpg?v=1692796429","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-interoceptive-mind-from-homeostasis-to-awareness-9780198863489","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
