Böcker av Marilyn L. Bowman

This text studies the coping behaviours of people who have suffered bad accidents to account for individual differences in prolonged distress syndromes. It argues that personality styles and beliefs play a powerful moderating role between objective adversity and apparent distress responses.

This book examines assumptions and evidence about the connections between the experience of an adverse event and reports of distress that are attrributed to that adversity. For clinicians, health professionals, and sociologists.
