Description - Soothing and Stress by Michael Lewis

This volume addresses topics related to the nature of the stress response, the role of environment in individual differences in stress, and the different strategies used for coping with stressful events. The chapters present theoretical and empirical work focused on a wide range of issues related to stress, soothing and coping. Authored by recognized authorities with innovative research programmes in the field, this volume addresses topics from diverse perspectives in child development, clinical psychology, paediatrics, psychophysiology and psychobiology. Adaptive and maladaptive outcomes of stress and coping are addressed in various paediatric, medical and clinical populations. This book also covers recent research on the effects of both prenatal and postnatal stress on subsequent coping, stress reactivity and socioemotional functioning in the human and nonhuman primate.
With this diversity of papers, this volume should be of special value to child development professionals with interests in behavioural and physiological approaches to temperament, emotional expression and emotional regulation; to those interested in mother-child interaction; and to researchers and clinicians in many different disciplines.
