xxii PREFACE representative a fashion as possible, however, as happens in projects that are limited by word count, some emotion topics have been excluded. We especially regret that we have failed to include entries for some individuals who have contributed signifi - cantly in some cases, these individuals’ contributions have been discussed in the intro- ductory chapter. Since all authors have been trained as psychologists, psychological perspectives likely dominate. Encyclopedia of Emotion presents an introduction that traces the history of emo- tion from the ancient Greek period through the present. Emotion topics covered in the introduction are the general concept of emotion, the way that mental illness has been conceptualized, treatment of mental disorders, and assessment of emotions and emotion-related personality traits for practical purposes (e.g., clinical and em- ployment purposes). The book concludes with three appendixes: psychopharma- cology (listing medications for emotional symptoms), organizations, and suggested readings. Like many large projects, this book is the result of teamwork, and we would like to thank all who have supported us. Gretchen M. Reevy would like to thank her husband, Todd Manning, for his patience. She thanks her excellent co-authors, Yvette Malamud Ozer and Yuri Ito. In addition to writing, Yvette also co-edited the book and comanaged parts of the project. At California State University, East Bay, Dr. Eileen Barrett, Dr. Felix Herndon, Mr. Mark Karplus, and Dr. Michael Mahoney were all personally supportive and helpful. Dr. Alan Monat provided in- valuable guidance regarding the ins and outs of publishing, and this is much appre- ciated. A number of years ago, at University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Christina Maslach was a caring and diligent writing mentor, and her efforts produced a per- son who loves to write. Yvette Malamud Ozer would like to thank her family and friends: Richard Ozer and Becca Malamud Ozer were supportive, tolerant, and provided some great ideas.
