Tiffany Field Livres

In the book Heartbreak she has reviewed recent research including her own studies on the heartbreak phenomenon as well as the symptom of social-emotional pain, intrusive thoughts, dreams and insomnia, crying, loneliness, depression, anxiety, and anger and the various therapies for heartbreak, as well as chapters on recovery, forgiveness and finding love again. The appendices to her book include several writing exercises for recovering and quotes from recommended books. Data are recently accruing on the symptoms and longer term effects of heartbreak or the 'broken heart syndrome'. What little scientific literature there is on underlying biochemical, physiological and neurophysiological mechanisms of heartbreak shows that different parts of the brain light up on fMRIs during heartbreak, and some therapeutic activities can reduce the symptoms. Those data are important because they suggest potential physical damage from persistent, unrelenting heartache and the need for freeing yourself and moving on. So, this book is an attempt to let you know those data. It is not a therapeutic book like 'Eat, Pray and Love' and it is not a humorous book like 'He's Just Not That Into You'. But it hopefully is informative about the 'broken heart syndrome' and ways to work on a cure for that syndrome to hopefully never experience it again soon. -- Publisher

The memoir features a collection of heartfelt sketches dedicated to Tiffany Field's friends and family, each represented by initials instead of names. Inspired by the Spoon River Anthology, it captures meaningful moments and relationships throughout her life. Accompanied by personal photographs, the book celebrates the connections that have shaped her, while acknowledging that many more memories and individuals remain to be explored in future volumes.

The author reports on studies that show the role of touch in early development, in communication (including the reading of others' emotions), in personal relationships, and even in sports. It describes the physiological and biological effects of touch, including areas of the brain affected by touch, and the effects of massage therapy on prematurity, attentiveness, depression, pain, and immune functions. Touch has been shown to have positive effects on growth, brain waves, breathing, and heart rate, and to decrease stress and anxiety. As Field makes clear, we enforce our society's touch taboo at our peril

Tiffany Field, world renowned infant development scholar, writes an engaging and comprehensive book that collects and reviews the latest findings in the field, exploring cutting edge research and contemporary theories about infant development.

Until very recently, almost all books on infancy assumed basic infant immaturity. Remarkably, as Tiffany Field shows in her survey of recent research, investigators are discovering that infants possess sophisticated perceptual skills, such as hearing, even before birth. Newborns can sense touch and motion, discriminate tastes and smells, recognize their mother's voice, and imitate facial expressions. In fact, the newborn is an active learner, looking, reaching, sucking, and grimacing from its first moments in its new environment. Field provides a readable account of our current knowledge about infant development. She looks at the emergence of sensorimotor and cognitive skills, which play an important role in social and emotional development in the months following birth as the infant experiences the world. In a chapter with important implications for working mothers, Field reviews the literature on infants in nursery and daycare programs, countering negative assessments with studies that show an enhancement of infants' social interaction in good care settings. In the concluding chapter, she pays particular attention to infants at risk because of disease (including AIDS), maternal drug use, prematurity, or maternal depression, and describes possible intervention strategies. The bibliography provides an invaluable summary of significant primary reference papers for professional researchers, students, and parents.

In the book Children A to Z, Tiffany Field has reviewed recent research on childhood issues from A to Z. Parents often feel the need to consult a reference book regarding problems their children are experiencing. Although encyclopedia-like books have been written on children's medical problems, those do not include behavior problems. Books that cover behavior problems are not organized in alphabetical order but rather, the problems are imbedded in different age sections or in general discussions, forcing the parent to read all the material to find the specific problem. Most discussions of children's problems, even by well-known authors, are largely based on anecdotal material and clinical experience rather than research data. The volume Children A to Z solves both of these problems. It is not only organized alphabetically for the reader's easy access, but its 300 entries are based on current research data. Some anecdotal material is used for interest value, but the content is drawn from literature searches. The first two entries in the volume are given here as examples.

The collection features review papers addressing the unique stressors faced by youth during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting how these challenges intensified existing adolescent issues. Collaboratively authored by the author and their students and colleagues, it builds on themes explored in a prior volume, offering insights into the impact of the pandemic on young people's mental health and well-being.

Exploring the spectrum of emotions tied to love, Tiffany Field's nonrhyming poetry captures the essence of both joyful and painful experiences. Written during moments of deep affection or profound sorrow, her verses resonate with readers who have faced similar feelings of love and loss. The collection invites reflection on the complexities of relationships, making it relatable for anyone who has navigated the highs and lows of love.

Wissenschaftlich ist es längst erwiesen: Streicheleinheiten und Berührungen sind Grundvoraussetzungen für eine positive geistige und körperliche Entwicklung beim Kleinkind. Auch bei Erwachsenen tragen sie maßgeblich zu Gesundheit, innerer Gelassenheit und Lebensmut bei. Dennoch leidet unsere heutige Gesellschaft an einer nie gekannten Berührungsarmut. Dieses Standardwerk zeigt, wie positiv sich Berüh- rungen auf unser Körpergefühl auswirken. Tiffany Field stellt effektive Übungen vor, mit denen wir unsere Gesundheit selbst in die Hand nehmen.
