Beschreibung

Stress: A Brief History is a lively, accessible, and detailed examination of the origins of the field of stress research. * * First concise, accessible, academically grounded book on the origins of the concept of stress. * Explores different theories and models of stress such as the psychosomatic approach, homeostasis, and general adaptation syndrome. * Discusses the work and intriguing contributions of key researchers in the field such as Walter Cannon, Hans Selye, Harold Wolff, and Richard Lazarus. * Explains the origins of key concepts in stress such as stressful life events, the coronary-prone personality, and appraisals and coping. * Culminates in a discussion of what makes a good theory and what obligations stress researchers have to those whose working lives they study.

Rezensionen

Lennart Levi, MD, PhD, Emeritus Professor, Division of Stress Research, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
"Mental health problems and stress-related disorders are often the cause of early death. Cary Cooper's and Philip Dewe's book is a fascinating and highly readable account of the long and difficult journey to this insight. I recommend it strongly."
Andi Yi-An Shih, Ph.D. Candidate, University of British Colombia. Stress and Health, 20, 239-40, 2004
"an informative and concise summary of landmarks in the history of stress research, with themes originating from over a hundred years of contributions to the field ... this book carries more than enough information for one to appreciate the origins of an exciting and necessary field."
Scientific and Medical Network Review, Summer 2005
"This must be the definitive book on the history of stress, written by specialists in organisational psychology and behaviour...Work stress is given a chapter on its own , and the conclusion asks what we mean by stress and how research on the topic can be pursued."
