Simone Belli's book, "Critical Approaches to the Psychology of Emotion," explores various critical perspectives in the study of emotions that challenge mainstream psychology. The book is divided into five chapters, each focusing on a different critical turn in the psychology of emotion. Belli argues that emotions are socially and discursively constructed, emphasizing the importance of considering social and cultural contexts in the study of emotions. The book covers topics such as the relationship between emotions and language, the impact of technology on emotions, collective emotions and emotional contagion, and emotional management in professional settings. This interdisciplinary book is recommended for students, scholars, and practitioners in social psychology, as well as researchers in related fields such as sociology, sociolinguistics, anthropology, and philosophy.
