WHAT THE FACE REVEALS GEBUNDEN

While we have known for centuries that facial expressions can reveal what people are thinking
and feeling  it is only recently that the face has been studied scientifically for what it can
tell us about internal states  social behavior  and psychopathology. Today's widely available 
sophisticated measuring systems have allowed us to conduct a wealth of new research on facial
behavior that has contributed enormously to our understanding of the relationship between
facial expression and human psychology. The chapters in this volume present the
state-of-the-art in this research. They address key topics and questions  such as the dynamic
and morphological differences between voluntary and involuntary expressions  the relationship
between what people show on their faces and what they say they feel  whether it is possible to
use facial behavior to draw distinctions among psychiatric populations  and how far research on
automating facial measurement has progressed. The book also includes follow-up commentary on
all of the original research presented and a concluding integration and critique of all the
contributions made by Paul Ekman. As an essential reference for all those working in the area
of facial analysis and expression  this volume will be indispensable for a wide range of
professionals and students in the fields of psychology  psychiatry  and behavioral medicine.
