Providing a comprehensive perspective on human desire, this volume brings together leading experts from multiple psychological subdisciplines. It addresses such key questions as how desires of different kinds emerge, how they influence judgment and decision making, and how problematic desires can be effectively controlled.

The concluding section analyzes specific applied domains--eating, sex, aggression, substance use, shopping, and social media.
