زوج‌ها و مقابله با استرس: دیدگاه‌های نوظهور در مقابله دوتایی

Relationship problems are the most frequent problems identified by clients of clinical psychologists and other mental health practitioners. At the same time, partner relationships are one of the strongest sources of support for couples facing major and minor life stress. While there have been recent advances in knowledge and research in the area of interpersonal communication among couples, many questions remain about the processes of couples coping with stress, the effects of stress on the relationship (as well as the individual's well-being), and therapeutic means to aid couples' coping. 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. Leading Researchers And Clinicians From North America And Western Europe Present Their Theoretical Frameworks And The Formative Research That Tests Them.

"This volume addresses the construct of dyadic coping between people in intimate relationships. By strict definition, dyadic coping involves both partners and is the interplay between the stress signals of one partner and the coping reactions of the other or a genuine act of common (shared) coping. As the chapters in this volume illustrate, the construct of dyadic coping is nuanced, interpreted differently by the chapter authors to include processes such as everyday communication, interpersonal conflict, joint problem solving, the giving and receiving of emotional support, and dealing with life stressors as a we, not just two Is. The primary aim of this book is to present current approaches on stress and coping in couples, to bring American and European contributions together, and to stimulate further fruitful scientific exchange on this topic of growing importance. Intended primarily for scholars in the field of marital research, stress and coping research, and interpersonal relationships, the book also serves as a useful reader for practitioners. As the idea of dyadic coping is a new and innovative approach in the area of marital therapy, this volume should be of interest to therapists as well"--Preface.
