Abstract

The effectiveness of current treatments of emotional disorders is considered as disappointing. Low response rates, high attrition, and relapse are major problems of both medication and psychological treatments for emotional disorders. Translational science has been proposed as a solution for improving existent psychological treatments. In this chapter, I suggest that the embodied simulation model of cognition is a viable framework for translating findings from basic affective and cognitive neuroscience into influential cognitive models of vulnerability to emotional disorders. This chapter further presents an overview of the book. It lays out a description of embodied non-distorted hot cognition (Chap. 2), distorted hot cognition (Chap. 3), dynamic development of embodied cognitive vulnerability based on stress-related neuroadaptations (Chap. 4), embodied rigid appraisals as core vulnerability to emotional disorders (Chap. 5), a model of embodied rigid appraisals (Chap. 6) and applications to the conceptualization and the treatment of hot cognitive vulnerability to emotional disorders.
