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.

Dieses essential thematisiert das Zusammenspiel zwischen Qualitat und Quantitat gemeinsam verbrachter Zeit in einer Partnerschaft - orientiert am Beratungsbedarf in Psychotherapie, Familien- und Paarberatung. Auch wenn Paare heutzutage vergleichsweise mehr Freizeitaktivitaten gemeinsam nachgehen als in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten, berichten viele, nicht genugend Zeit fur Familie und Partnerschaft zu haben. Eine Mehrheit von Paaren ist hohem alltaglichen Stress ausgesetzt, der dazu fuhrt, dass die gemeinsame Zeit fur Zweisamkeit, Nahe und Austausch eng bemessen ist. Dabei ist die gemeinsam verbrachte Zeit mit dem Partner ein zentraler Faktor fur eine gluckliche Partnerschaft. Aus der aktuellen Paar- und Familienforschung leiten die Autoren Hinweise ab, wie Paare aktiv einem Zerfall der gemeinsamen Zeit entgegenwirken koennen.
Dieses Essential zeigt, welche Konsequenzen die Nutzung von Fernseher, Computer und Internet fur Kinder und Jugendliche hat - und was Fachleute Eltern raten koennen. Aus wissenschaftlicher Perspektive wird deutlich, dass die Nutzung von gewaltbetonten Medien ein Pradiktor fur aggressives Verhalten bei Heranwachsenden ist, neuen Medien ein Suchtpotenzial innewohnt und exzessive Mediennutzung den kindlichen Schulleistungen abtraglich sein kann. Entscheidend sind jedoch die Haufigkeit der Nutzung und der Medieninhalt. Vor diesem Hintergrund stehen Eltern in der Pflicht, klare Strukturen bezuglich Form, Inhalt und Dauer der Mediennutzung ihrer Kinder durchzusetzen.
Internationale Befunde haben konsistent dargelegt, dass destruktive Paarkonflikte und Scheidungen zu den wichtigsten Risikofaktoren fur eine ungunstige kindliche Entwicklung gehoeren. Fur Kinder sind Stoerungen in der Partnerschaft der Eltern in hohem Masse bedrohlich und gehen im Falle einer Trennung der Eltern mit dem schmerzvollen Bruch des bisherigen Lebensentwurfs einher. Dies bedeutet in aller Regel ein hoch destabilisierendes Ereignis, welches von Kindern vielgestaltige Anpassungsleistungen abverlangt. Ermutigenderweise hat die gegenwartige Paar- und Familienforschung Bedingungen identifiziert, wie Paarkonflikte und Scheidungen moeglichst konstruktiv verlaufen - um der Partnerschaft und des Kindeswohls willen.
