Book Synopsis Emotion, Disclosure, and Health by : James W. Pennebaker
Book excerpt: "Emotion, Disclosure and Health" addresses some of the basic issues of psychology and psychotherapy: how people respond to emotional upheavals, why they respond the way they do, and why translating emotional events into language increases physical and mental health. Drawing on work in clinical, social, personality, and health psychology, as well as medical anthropology, the authors address these issues, drawing some stimulating conclusions about how an understanding of disclosure and health may be applied in clinically useful ways.
