Description

The Psychology of Adjustment and Coping is especially intended for use as a primary text for college students taking a psychology of adjustment course. However, this book could also aptly serve as a primary or supplemental text for several other psychology courses (e.g., stress and coping, health psychology, human relations, psychology of loss/death and dying, mental health issues, applied psychology), and other related fields in the social or health sciences (e.g., social work, human services, allied health, nursing, and interdisciplinary studies).

My motivation to undertake this book-writing project grew from a personal frustration of not finding a college textbook that views the study of adjustment in the way that I (and many other academic psychologists) view it: the study of how we cope with life change—including change due to negative events. Moreover, I believe that many other adjustment texts are extremely expensive and needlessly verbose. The Psychology of Adjustment and Coping introduces students to the field in a thorough, yet concise, way. In that respect, my text is written in a conversational, student-friendly style that features the major qualities of the field without becoming overly dense in its focus.
