Family Stress Management: A Contextual Approach

• Used Book in Good Condition

<p>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 <b>Second Edition</b>, 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. The goal is to provide a framework for students and professionals engaged in helping families learn how to manage their stress. </p>
