Stress, Coping, and Health in Families
Rather than investigating the pathology of families under stress, this book takes the unusual step of studying individuals, families and ethnic groups moving towards health.

The contributors develop the concept of a family and culturally induced sense of coherence as the key to promoting health and well-being.
