Abstract

This review presents a book that brings a fresh perspective on emotional disorders. The author of the book starts from renowned models in psychological counseling and psychotherapy and identifies the need for a different focus on factors that lead to vulnerability, namely the embodied hot cognition. Each chapter of the book carefully indicates the current state of research in the field (hot cognitions, distorted hot cognition, stress-related neuroadaptations, disturbed motivation, irrational beliefs), including recent neuropsychological findings. The final chapter presents an evidence-based treatment of emotional disorders. The book could be challenging for the beginners in psychological counseling, but also a delight for professionals in this field.
