The Science and Art of Sensory Processing Sensitivity provides a detailed description of Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS), a biological trait associated with an enhanced awareness of the environment and others, at the behavioral, affective, and at the neural level. Uniquely incorporating a scientific perspective on its relation to (and distinction from) seemingly related disorders and personality features, this volume discusses how varying combinations of SPS with specific personality traits give rise to different outcomes and optimal environments. The book's extensive description of techniques, based in recent scientific advances, that improve the quality of life for individuals with SPS, are a key component. As such, a variety of readers will benefit from its discussions regarding SPS in the workforce, education, and in personal relationships, as well as techniques that enhance well-being for those with SPS.
