"A virtual `who's who' and `what's what' in coping research, this
book provides a cutting-edge overview of the field of coping and
its relation to personality and emotion. This is not a stale, dry
presentation of where the field has been, but a forward-looking
collection of papers on where the field is going." --Drew Westen,
Ph.D., Associate Professor of Psychology, Department of Psychiatry,
Harvard Medical School
"This is an excellent overview of some of the fundamental issues in
adaptation and coping. The authors integrate the vast literatures
on personality, social processes, and clinical applications. Their
reflections and recommendations are timely and of practical
relevance. I recommend it highly." --Michael J. Mahoney, Ph.D.,
author of Human Change Processes and editor of Constructivism in
the Human Sciences
"Most of the major figures in the field of stress and coping have
contributed to this outstanding volume. Unlike other reviews of the
stress and coping literature, this collection focuses on coping
strategies and efforts that work, when they work, and why they
work. This is a volume you'd want to give to your graduate students
and to your child head off to the first year of college. The work
is useful not only for its descriptions of the resources that
effective copers have, but also for understanding the efforts that
people can make when they are having more difficulty coping."
--Shelley E. Taylor, Professor of Social Psychology, University of
California,
Los Angeles
"Snyder has assembled a stellar group of theorists and researchers
with an exceptional range of expertise in the arguably most
important process in psychology: coping. The chapters are very
well-written and provide superb coverage of the range, breadth, and
depth of the issues involved in understanding coping processes. The
combination of a prominent editor, first-rate authors, and a
readable and comprehensive examination of coping should make this
volume
required reading for all mental health professionals." --Rick E.
Ingram, Ph.D. Department of Psychology Doctoral Training Facility
San Diego State University
"This volume provides one of the most timely, engaging, and
optimistic approaches to the psychology of coping that is available
in the literature today. The editor and chapter authors are leaders
in developing a new focus in coping theory and research that
embraces what Martin E.P. Seligman has recently called
'psychology's forgotten mission,' namely to report and build on
human resilience and health." --John H. Harvey, Professor of
Psychology, University of
Iowa, and Editor of the Journal of Personal & Interpersonal
Loss
"This is an encouraging and enlightening book that presents
exciting research challenges. It would be a good library reference
text, and a useful clinical tool in medical settings. The ideas
presented and the work done with children and older students would
also commend this book to school personnel." -- R.G. Schnurr, PhD,
