Stress, Coping, and Development in Children

How does stress affect the coping abilities of children? Is response to stress a matter of nature, nurture, or both? Is stress good, bad, or neutral? From a multiplicity of viewpoints, twelve eminent researchers and clinicians here examine the problems of stress in children. Considering stress from a neurochemical as well as a developmental perspective, they examine a wide range of specific stressors including prematurity, hospitalization, birth of a sibling, deprivation, death of a parent, divorce, and war. Stress, Coping, and Development in Children is a work of signal importance to psychologists and to every mental health professional involved with infants and children.Garmezy, Norman is the author of 'Stress, Coping, and Development in Children ', published 1988 under ISBN 9780801836510 and ISBN 0801836514.
