Overview
Edited by one of the world's authorities in stress management, occupational psychology, and occupational medicine, this book codifies the different types of stress, and then examines their characteristics, symptoms, duration, and treatment approaches. The text proposes a generic theory on stress and health and explores the relationship of stress to a variety of health outcomes. It addresses the link between stress and personality, and discusses the impact of social support on various health conditions. The final chapters discuss stress and its consequences, such as the emotional processing of traumatic events, stress in families and in chronic disease, and coping with stress in the workplace.
