Synopsis
In this Second Edition of Family Stress Management, the author continues to explore both the larger context surrounding families and stress and the inner context, which includes perceptions and meanings. Pauline Boss emphasizes the need for a more general contextual model of family stress and crises than other models. The goal is to provide a framework for students and professionals engaged in helping families learn how to manage their stress. Features of the book include: * a contextual approach which encourages students and professionals to see how micro and macro views of family stress can be combined in an ecological (or contextual) design * the concluding chapter provides students and researchers with speculation about the future of family stress research - where it may be heading and why it is needed - thus providing a roadmap for future research and application * chapters conclude with 'points to remember' and cartoons help reinforce points with humour As much as 60% of the text is new material and coverage brings the book thoroughly up-to-date., Why do some families survive stressful situations while others fall apart? Can a family's beliefs and values be used as a predictor of vulnerability to stress? And most importantly, can family stress be prevented? In this Second Edition , Pauline Boss continues to explore both the larger context surrounding families and stress and the inner context, which includes perceptions and meanings. The author emphasizes the need for a more general contextual model of family stress that may be applicable to a wider diversity of people and families as well as a wider variety of stresses and crises than other models.

    Shipping was standard. I am excited about this purchase. Product was exactly like the description. Book was wrapped in bubble wrap and in a plastic case. The book was a little pricey, but worth it for me.
