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.
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.
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.

A symposium titled, "Touch in Infancy" was held to celebrate the
opening of the first Touch Research Institute in the world.
Although touch is the largest sense organ in the body, it is the
one that had been the most neglected and the only one to just
recently have a research institute. Designed to conduct basic
research on touch and on the skin, the institute will work with
wellness programs such as massage therapy and other kinds of touch
therapies to facilitate better health and to treat various
diseases. The institute's opening symposium featured presentations
from several of the world's leading experts in infant development.
Published in this volume, their work addresses the relevance of
touch to the neonate's well-being.
