With a new chapter dedicated to psychosocial and environmental
stressors such as racism, climate change, discrimination,
collective trauma, and settler colonialism, this fully updated
second edition of An Introduction to Stress and Health explains how
chronic and acute stress can precipitate changes in the body that
exacerbate and contribute to conditions including heart disease,
diabetes, and depression. This is the first textbook to blend
psychosocial and behavioural neuroscience perspectives, giving you
a broad understanding of the immunological, neurochemical, hormonal
and growth factor processes that can be influenced by stress.
Anisman and Matheson further invite you to consider how different
interventions and therapeutic strategies might be used to deal with
stress and its consequences on the body. Its lively writing,
fascinating case studies and signposts to further reading make this
an indispensable guide for postgraduate students taking courses in
health psychology, and stress, health, and illness. Hymie Anisman
is Professor of Neuroscience at Carleton University. Kimberly
Matheson is Research Chair in Culture and Gender Mental Health and
Professor of Neuroscience at The Royal Ottawa's Institute of Mental
Health Research and Carleton University.
