Description
The Interoceptive Mind: From Homeostasis to Awareness by Manos Tsakiris and Helena De Preester is a comprehensive exploration of interoception, the body-to-brain axis that enables us to sense our internal state. This multidisciplinary volume offers insights into the role of interoception in mental life, awareness, subjectivity, affect, and cognition. Structured across three parts, the book examines both the deficits in interoceptive processing and awareness in various mental health conditions, as well as its crucial role in well-being. The authors draw on a range of disciplines, including psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and philosophy, to provide a nuanced understanding of this complex topic. By exploring our bodily existence and interoception, the book sheds light on what it means to experience oneself and the importance of emotions in health and wellbeing. This book is an essential resource for anyone working in fields such as psychology, cognitive neurosciences, or philosophy, offering a vital contribution to the growing field of interoceptive research.
