Psychoneuroimmunology, Two-Volume Set, Volume 1-2, Fourth Edition

By Robert Ader

Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of interactions among behavioral, neural and endocrine, and immunologic processes of adaptation. These two volumes provide a clearly written, extensively referenced summary of some of the behavioral, neural and endocrine regulators of immune responses and immunologically mediated disease processes and of the behavioral and neuroendocrine effects of immune system activity. Several chapters expand upon topics reviewed in earlier editions of this series; most chapters cover active areas of research that have not previously been reviewed. As illustrated in this fourth edition, interdisciplinary research continues to provide evidence that the brain and immune system represent a single, integrated system of defense.

Psychoneuroimmunology

When I first ordered the texts I thought I would have to look for a text on endocrinology to meld the four topics together, but was wildly excited to see the authors had already done this for me. Facinating text, immensely edifying.
