"Like a Bridge over Troubled Waters" The surge of current interest in the interface between clinical and social psychology is well illustrated by the publication of a number of general texts and journals in this area, and the growing emphasis in graduate programs on providing training in both disciplines. Although the bene fits of an integrated clinical-social approach have been recognized for a number of years, the recent work in this area has advanced from the oretical extrapolations of social psychological models to clinical issues to theory and research that is based on social principles and conducted in clinical domains. It is becoming increasingly common to find social psy chologists pursuing research with clinical populations and clinical psy chologists investigating variables that have traditionally been in the realm of social psychology. A major area of interface between the two disciplines is in research and theory concerned with how individuals respond to negative events. In addition to the trend toward an integrated clinical-social approach, the growing body of literature in this area reflects the explosion of cur rent interest in the area of health psychology; work by clinical and social psychologists on the topics of stress and coping has been one of the major facets of this burgeoning field. The purpose of the present volume is to provide a common forum for recent advances in the clinical and social literature on responses to negative life outcomes."

State economic and social policy in the last two decades of the twentieth century has been represented as woman-friendly, or, at the very least, gender-neutral. Using a trans-disciplinary approach embracing welfare systems, employment practices, education structures and the health industry, this book views state-decision making through an analytical feminist lens. What it reveals is that under the guise of economic restructuring the relative euphoria experienced by women during the second wave of feminism has been dampened by state decision-making that undermines women's continued economic and social advancement. Exposing the myth and tracing the trends has implications which do not auger well for women in the new millennium. This re-appraisal of state legislation and economic strategies to address the welfare of women in the evolving state provides a critical base for students, professionals and policy makers concerned with the direction of state intervention.
