"Here is a volume packed with detailed clinical and empirical information on everything from relaxation, yoga, meditation, hypnosis, autogenic training, biofeedback, control of respiration, cognitive therapy, and stress inoculation training to music, aerobic exercise, and pharmacological interventions. Many luminaries have contributed individual chapters including Barber, Beck, Meichenbaum, Patel, Stoyva, and Budzynski, and the final section on integration, written by Lehrer, Woolfolk and their colleagues, brings this impressive tome together in a most compelling fashion." --Arnold A. Lazarus, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers University "The editors, Paul Lehrer and Robert Woolfolk, have fulfilled their promise of providing the practitioner with everything one could possibly want to know about the concepts, methods, and applications of stress reduction and stress management. The contributors to the volume are all highly respected masters of the field. Each chapter lays out in complete detail the historical background of the method, the philosophical and theoretical force behind it, how to do it, why it works, and for whom it may be appropriate. Although research on stress management is not a primary focus of the volume, the researcher will not be disappointed. The editors themselves conclude the volume with three truly comprehensive reviews of the major research questions in the field. These reviews, as well as the other chapters, are full of new ideas about how to look at the various areas of application in mental and physical health and where these fields are going and in each case backed up by hundreds of citations of relevant literature. After thirty years of working on issues in this field, I was surprised and intrigued by the many new ways of thinking about the meaning and consequences of stress for people and how the methods discussed can be effectively applied. I can't think of anyone in the field who will not want to have this volume nearby, whether seasoned investigator, student, or practitioner." --David Shapiro, Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles "A virtually encyclopedic manual for the empirically oriented clinician interested in learning about the full range of techniques and approaches subsumed under the rubric of stress management. The editors, themselves exemplars of the scientist-practitioner model, have put together a distinguished group of experienced research-oriented clinicians who provide otherwise unavailable details on how to analyze stress-related problems and to implement a variety of stress management procedures in a humane and effective fashion. In an interesting way, this volume can be salutary for the professional whom Lehrer and Woolfolk rightfully describe as suffering from stress due to the increasing difficulty of keeping up with new developments--for the book provides a comprehensive overview of a complex and burgeoning field. This is a must read for applied workers who want to stay abreast of current work as well as obtain some glimpses of future developments in stress management." --Gerald C.
