Stress, Cognition and Health examines the key issues in the psychology of stress and health, bringing together a wide range of material generally not found in a single text. It looks at how the external world makes demands upon individuals – potential causes of stress – while at the same time providing them with resources to cope with stress. It covers topics such as work and employment, families, commuting, large-scale disasters and daily hassles and considers how these impact on biological processes through effects on the immune system. Written in a clear, accessible style, the book offers chapter summaries, annotated further reading and a glossary of key terms to aid psychology students.
