A result of a conference at the University of Trier, Germany, this
volume mirrors its goals: * to provide an overview of recent
advances in research on critical life events and the losses
associated with them * to collect and stimulate new perspectives
for the analysis of these events * to compare the psychology of
victims experiencing stress and losses with the psychology of
observers in their reactions to victims. Designed to prevent
developmental psychological myths in the area of life crises, this
collection questions, on an empirical basis, the adequacy of
several widespread generalizations. At the same time its
contributors attempt to draw paths to conceptualizations and
theories in general psychology and social psychology which promise
to be helpful in analyzing and interpreting phenomena in the field
of life crises.
