"Has the developing world developed modern concepts of stress? Are coping methods
the same around the globe? Such questions are not simple to answer, and until recently,
few knew to ask them. In recent years, Western psychologists have recognized that
their prevailing views of psychology do not always translate worldwide--and that no
culture has a monopoly on either stress or coping. The Handbook of Multicultural Perspectives
on Stress and Coping was created to address this realization. This unique volume moves
beyond simple comparisons of behaviors in other countries by clarifying critical concepts
in stress and coping, analyzing and synthesizing vast amounts of global data, and
identifying constructs and methodologies necessary for meaningful cross-cultural research.
An international, multiethnic panel of forty-five contributors presents elegant studies
of stress, survival, and resilience as cultures evolve and countries interact, including:
* Personal transformation as a coping strategy * Psychological skills that enhance
intercultural adjustment * Individual versus collectivist values in coping * Buddhist
and Taoist traditions in coping * The cumulative effects of historical, environmental,
and political stressors on nations in the Middle East * Specific cross-cultural perspectives,
from Latino-American families to Canadian aboriginal peoples to minority university
students The editors have assembled a vital store of knowledge, raising crucial implications
for clinicians working with immigrant/international populations, and evaluating the
current state of theory, research, and assessment. The Handbook documents major steps
toward scientific advancement--and human understanding."--Publisher's website
