Book Synopsis Family Stress Management by : Pauline Boss

Download or read book Family Stress Management written by Pauline Boss and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2002 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some families survive stressful situations while others fall apart? Can a family's beliefs and values be used as a predictor of vulnerability to stress? And most importantly, can family stress be prevented? In this Second Edition, Pauline Boss continues to explore both the larger context surrounding families and stress and the inner context, which includes perceptions and meanings. The author emphasizes the need for a more general contextual model of family stress that may be applicable to a wider diversity of people and families as well as a wider variety of stresses and crises than other models. The goal is to provide a framework for students and professionals engaged in helping families learn how to manage their stress.
