Description
Book SynopsisThe Routledge International Handbook of Social Neuroendocrinology is an authoritative reference work providing a balanced overview of current scholarship spanning the full breadth of the rapidly developing field of social neuroendocrinology. Considering the relationships between hormones, the brain, and social behavior, this collection brings together groundbreaking research in the field for the first time.
Featuring 39 chapters written by leading researchers, the handbook offers impressive breadth of coverage. It begins with an overview of the history of social neuroendocrinology before discussing its methodological foundations and challenges. Other topics covered include state-of-the-art research on dominance and aggression; social affiliation; reproduction and pair bonding (e.g., sexual behavior, sexual orientation, romantic relationships); pregnancy and parenting; stress and emotion; cognition and decision making; social development; and mental and physical
Trade Review
"Social neuroendocrinology is a rapidly growing scientific discipline that has revolutionized our understanding of the biological bases of all social processes. The Routledge International Handbook of Social Neuroendocrinology offers the most comprehensive and most authoritative review of this field of research to date. A must-read for all behavioral scientists." - Dario Maestripieri, The University of Chicago, USA
