The fourth volume based on the annual University of Miami symposia
on stress and coping, this new addition to the series is the first
to focus on developmental and clinical stressors during infancy and
childhood. While developmental stressors such as early separation
and stranger anxiety, novelty stress, and fear-evoked personal
distress, arise during normal development, clinical stressors
result from certain conditions that are relatively common in
infancy and early childhood such as premature birth and respiratory
disease.
The third volume based on the annual University of Miami Symposia
on Stress and Coping, this book focuses on the role of biophysical
factors in four of the greatest health problems confronting us
today: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and the AIDS
epidemic. In each of these disorders, stress is seen as a
contributing factor that interacts with other variables such as
genetic influences or constitutional factors. Accordingly, the
behavioral treatments discussed are often designed to change
lifestyles, reduce stress, or improve adherence to therapeutic
regimens. This volume provides a solid theoretical base which
should stimulate further research into biobehavioral mechanisms and
treatments for the disorders it examines.
This is the second volume based on the annual University of Miami Symposia on Stress and Coping. The present volume is focused on some representative stresses and coping mechanisms that occur during different stages of development including infancy, childhood, and adulthood. Accordingly, the volume is divided into three sections for those three stages.
Stress, Coping, and Depression is the latest volume based on the Annual Stress and Coping Conference held at the University of Miami. In this timely collection, leading researchers offer a variety of new perspectives on depression. They review the social, biological, and psychological processes that put adults and their children at risk and discuss innovative treatments grounded in empirical studies. Research findings are integrated across domains to construct more effective models of etiology and intervention. The contributors' thought-provoking ideas will provide inspiration for the ongoing efforts addressing the problems associated with this devastating disorder. Content highlights include: * novel information processing approaches to depression; * an overview of the neural pathways guiding moods; * empirical approaches for the treatment of bipolar disorders; * integrated models of biological and environmental influences on the transmission of depression to children; and * new perspectives on the relationship between personality and stress.
The latest volume in the series based on the Annual Stress and Coping Symposia held at the University of Miami, Drs. McCabe, Schneiderman, Field, and Wellens bring together an outstanding group of researchers to examine the relationship between bio-behavioral and social factors and heart disease. Highlights of the book include an in-depth look at the latest research on: * basic physiological processes in cardiovascular reactivity to stress; * pathophysiological mechanisms in cardiovascular disease; * ethnic differences in cardiovascular regulation; * psychosocial influences on cardiovascular function/disease; and * Behavioral interventions designed to treat cardiovascular disorders. The goal of Stress, Coping, and Cardiovascular Disease is to provide a solid empirical foundation on the relationship between stress and cardiovascular disease so as to stimulate further research into the pathophysiology and treatment of the leading cause of death in industrialized countries.

While developmental stressors such as early separation and stranger anxiety, novelty stress, and fear-evoked personal distress, arise during normal development, clinical stressors result from certain conditions that are relatively common in infancy and early childhood such as premature birth and respiratory disease. Various therapies are discussed -- for example, relaxation and massage -- that can alleviate the stress associated with psychiatric conditions in childhood and adolescence, including depression and adjustment disorder. The result is an integration of diverse research and theory on the psychophysiological, developmental, and psychosocial aspects of stress and coping in animals and humans by some of the leading researchers in the field.

This volume presents chapters by leading figures researching the
various pathways by which stress may interfere with health
maintenance and contribute to disease etiology and progression.
Their work focuses on direct effects of stress on the immune and
endocrine systems, on behavioral factors in diseases such as cancer
and diabetes, and with the general role of stress in illness
processes.
