Considerable research has been devoted to understanding how positive emotional processes influence our thoughts and behaviors, and the resulting body of work clearly indicates that positive emotion is a vital ingredient in our human quest towards well-being and thriving. Yet the role of positive emotion in psychopathology has been underemphasized, such that comparatively less scientific attention has been devoted to understanding ways in which positive emotions
might influence and be influenced by psychological disturbance. Presenting cutting-edge scientific work from an internationally-renowned group of contributors, The Oxford Handbook of
Positive Emotion and Psychopathology provides unparalleled insight into the role of positive emotions in mental health and illness. The book begins with a comprehensive overview of key psychological processes that link positive emotional experience and psychopathological outcomes. The following section focuses on specific psychological disorders, including depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, as well as developmental considerations. The third and final
section of the Handbook discusses translational implications of this research and how examining populations characterized by positive emotion disturbance enables a better understanding of psychiatric course and
risk factors, while simultaneously generating opportunities to bridge gaps between basic science models and psychosocial interventions. With its rich and multi-layered focus, The Oxford Handbook of Positive Emotion and Psychopathology will be of interest to researchers, teachers, and students from a range of disciplines, including social psychology, clinical psychology and psychiatry, biological psychology and health psychology, affective science, and neuroscience.

"The experience of positive emotions - of pride and joy, of
satisfaction and affection - is a large part of what makes a life
worth living. This book brings together many of the world's
foremost experts to summarize the scientific state of the art. An
essential volume for researchers and students alike." --Daniel
Gilbert, PhD, Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology, Harvard
University
"Understandably, psychopathology research has traditionally focused
on negative emotions like anxiety and sadness. The crucial role of
positive emotions is in this extraordinary collection of essays
explored in depth by leading researchers who illuminate the complex
relationship between positive emotions and mental health." --Angela
Duckworth, PhD, Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of
Psychology, University of Pennsylvania
"This edited volume imparts a valuable message: The pursuit of
positive emotion - and its experience in the 'wrong' time, place,
or amount - can seriously backfire. Here, the leading stars
overturn conventional wisdom on the role of positive emotions in
psychopathology and in our daily lives." --Sonja Lyubomirsky, PhD,
Professor and Vice Chair of Psychology, University of California
Riverside
