This is the first book that reviews both empirical and clinical
applications of how couples jointly cope with stress - dyadic
coping - around the globe. The Systemic-Transactional Stress Model
(STM), developed by co-editor Guy Bodenmann, is used as a
consistent framework so readers can better appreciate the contrasts
and similarities across the fourteen cultures represented in the
book. Written by scholars from the particular culture, each chapter
provides a conceptual review of the dyadic coping research
conducted in their specific cultures, and also provides empirical
and clinical recommendations. Additional contributions include how
to measure dyadic coping, so others can apply the STM model in
other contexts. The latest treatment approaches for therapy and
prevention are also highlighted, making this book ideal for
professionals interested in expanding their cultural competence
when working with couples from various backgrounds. Highlights
include: -How couples in different cultures deal with stress and
how values and traditions affect dyadic stress and coping. -Global
applications, especially to couples in the regions highlighted in
the book -- the U.S (including one chapter on Latino couples in the
U.S.)., Australia, China, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Kenya,
Nigeria, Pakistan, Portugal, Romania, and Switzerland. -Factors
encountered in examining dyadic coping using the STM Model
including measurement and assessment issues. -Suggestions for
making treatment, prevention, and intervention programs for couples
more effective. Ideal for relationship researchers, psychologists,
mental health counselors, social workers, and advanced students who
work with couples dealing with stress. This book is also
appropriate for advanced courses on interpersonal processes, close
relationships, stress and coping, multicultural issues in marriage
and family therapy or counseling, or family systems, taught in a
variety of social science disciplines.
