Caracteristici

  • The second section explores the relationship between stress, health, and illness. It begins with a discussion of the positive and negative personality traits associated with disease, followed by a closer look at the stress-related processes linked to immune functioning and specific illnesses. The section closes with an examination of stress and various risk behaviors, including exercise, nutrition, and substance abuse.
  • The third section of the book examines external conditions and causal factors in stress—including crises, catastrophes, and disasters; lifespan and family; work-related stress; and social and environmental conditions. A final section surveys the main clinical techniques now used to manage stress.
