Product Description
The theory of helplessness refers to the problems that follow in the wake of uncontrollability. The best-known application of learned helplessness has been an explanation of depression, although numerous other extensions have been made, most recently to physical illness and death.
Review
the application of the theory to current issues (including depression, academic achievement, and physical well-being) are exciting, thought provoking, and highly relevant (Sally Gever, READINGS: A Journal of Reviews and Commentary on Mental Health)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When experience with uncontrollable events gives rise to the expectation that events in the future will also elude control, disruptions in motivation, emotion, and learning may ensue. "Learned helplessness" refers to the problems that arise in the wake of uncontrollability. First described in the 1960s among laboratory animals, learned helplessness has since been applied to a variety of human problems entailing inappropriate passivity and demoralization. Whilelearned helplessness is best known as an explanation of depression, studies with both people and animals have mapped out the cognitive and biological aspects. The present volume, written by some of themost widely recognized leaders in the field, summarizes and integrates the theory, research, and application of learned helplessness. Each line of work is evaluated critically in terms of what is and is not known, and future directions are sketched. More generally, psychiatrists and psychologists in various specialties will be interested in the book's argument that a theory emphasizing personal control is of particular interest in the here and now, as individuality and control are suchsalient cultural topics. A description of a paradigm for understanding and treating a psychological syndrome; learned helplessness. This is a personal account by leaders on this work since its very beginnings; critical evaluations are given, together with discussions of future directions.
