Stress, Culture, and Community : The Psychology and Philosophy of Stress Hardback
by S.E. Hobfoll
Part of the The Springer Series in Social Clinical Psychology series
Hardback
Description
This original work focuses on how stress evolves and is resolved in the interplay between persons and their social connectedness within family, tribe, and culture.
Stress, Culture, and Community maintains that the primary motivation of human beings is to build, protect, and foster their resource reservoirs in order to protect the self and its social attachments.
Stevan E. Hobfoll searches for the causes of psychological distress and potential methods of successful stress resistance by probing the ties that bind people in families, communities, and cultures.
By focusing on the `process" rather than the `outcomes' of stress, he reshapes the stress dialogue.
