Decades of research have unequivocally shown that life stress is a
central factor in the onset and course of almost every psychiatric
disorder. However, the processes by which stress influences mental
health are complex, and the integration of the myriad of biological
and psychological systems involved requires a multidisciplinary
perspective. Fortunately, scientists working from diverse vantage
points have made huge advances in unpacking the complexities of
stress-disorder relations. The Oxford Handbook of Stress and Mental
Health provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the science
of stress and mental health. Topics covered include assessment
issues, the role of stress in various mental disorders,
developmental influences and individual difference factors that
predict reactivity to stress, and treatment of stress-related
mental health problems. Internationally recognized scholars in the
field of stress and stress-related disorders have contributed their
diverse expertise, providing both depth and breadth in terms of
understanding stress and mental health. Chapters 1 to 4 provide a
critical discussion of assessment issues in the domains of stress
exposure and stress response. Chapters 5 to 14 review the relation
of stress exposures to a broad range of mental health outcomes
across the lifespan. Chapters 15 to 25 are concerned with
understanding how the stress response unfolds at both psychological
and neurobiological levels. Lastly, Chapters 26 to 33 addresses
stress adaptation and resilience, as well as evidence-based
treatments for stress and stress-related disorder. This volume will
constitute an invaluable resource for students, established
scientists, and clinicians looking for a comprehensive treatment of
the topic of stress and mental health.
