Emotions, Stress, and Health
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-530798-6 (ISBN)
In this volume, Alex Zautra illustrates how experience with difficult or stressful emotional situations can, contrary to popular belief, be beneficial; for example, our ability to adapt to stress can be improved by experiencing difficult moments of emotional intensity. Zautra masterfully integrates research and theory on emotion and stress, identifying a unique and important role for stressful life events. He offers new insights into how stress and emotions can influence health and illness and demonstrates the wide applicability of this perspective across domains of love and marriage, work, aging and community. By reviewing research on chronic pain, depression, child abuse, and addiction, Zautra also provides new insights into clinical problems.
Alex J. Zautra is Foundation Professor of Clinical and Health Psychology at Arizona State University. He has dedicated his career to the study of resilience. His current research is funded by grants from the National Institute on Aging, the National Institute of Arthritis, Musculoskeletal, and Skin Diseases, and the Arthritis Foundation.
