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. In the volume's chapters, leading researchers and clinicians from North America and Western Europe present their theoretical frameworks and the formative research that tests them. Most importantly, the authors translate their findings into practice principles, many of which are innovative therapeutic programs. 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 to move in. This book offers a new and exciting conceptualization of dyadic processes and introduces a challenging set of new questions that will guide future research in the field. Primary audience: family and couple therapists; clinical psychologists and researchers who concentrate on this field of study. Secondary audience: Social scientists/psychologists that study families and personal relationships; social workers.
