Description: "Couples Coping With Stress: Emerging Perspectives on Dyadic Coping presents an in-depth look at recent theoretical perspectives and original research on how couples cope with stress, including acute and chronic stress, stresses within and outside of the family, and stress caused by physical and mental illnesses." "Leading researchers and clinicians from North America and Western Europe present their theoretical frameworks and the formative research that tests them. Dyadic coping - the interplay between the stress signals of one partner and the coping reaction of the other - is introduced as an additional resource that adds to each partner's coping ability and becomes a new direction for marital therapy."--Jacket.
