"It seems that everyone is stressed--by global health threats, by
politics, by a legion of challenges that confront humankind. And
with these stressors come remedies offered by pundits of varying
qualification. For years, this handbook, edited by highly respected
scholar-clinicians, has been a welcome resource. It provides
searching, thoughtful analyses of the complexities of managing
stress, integrating the scientific literature with findings from
front-line clinicians. The fourth edition doesn't
disappoint--Lehrer and Woolfolk have once again produced an
inestimably valuable work for professionals and students."--Gerald
C. Davison, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Southern
California
"Stress is a ubiquitous human experience, with sources and
consequences that are highly varied. In this timely fourth edition
of a classic, Lehrer and Woolfolk gather the field’s top
researchers to unpack both the theory and the facts underlying
stress. Chapters highlight the physiological, psychological, and
social pathways to outcomes ranging from harm to resilience, and
review multiple approaches to the amelioration of stress, from
psychopharmacology to meditative practices. This is a rich resource
for both researchers and clinicians, and a comprehensive orienting
text for advanced students in this area."--Richard M. Ryan, PhD,
Institute for Positive Psychology and Education, Australian
Catholic University; Distinguished Professor, Ewha Womans
University, Republic of Korea
"An encyclopedic and foundational reference. Lehrer and Woolfolk
are major figures who have led the field of stress management for
four decades, and who have assembled a remarkably gifted team of
expert authors. This fourth edition greatly updates the scientific
research, expands the list of authors, and sharpens the focus of
many chapters. This book is a 'must read' for serious practitioners
in stress management, and belongs on the easiest-to-reach shelf of
every practitioner and researcher in the broader field of
psychophysiology."--Donald Moss, PhD, Dean, College of Integrative
Medicine and Health Sciences, Saybrook University
"Edited by two of the most esteemed leaders in stress management,
the fourth edition of this classic work contains insightful
chapters bridging the gap between basic research and clinical
applications. The volume reviews the conceptual basis for
evidence-based interventions, physiological systems in the stress
process, treatment of different populations, and a range of
specific stress management methods. Each chapter is written in a
clear, accessible manner that will be useful for clinicians,
researchers, and graduate students in fields that integrate
physical and mental health."--David S. Krantz, PhD, Department of
Medical and Clinical Psychology, Uniformed Services University of
the Health Sciences-Lehrer and Woolfolk are major figures who have
led the field of stress management for four decades. Here they have
assembled a gifted team of expert authors….The text…has long
provided the most comprehensive scientifically informed resource
for understanding stress and stress management. I highly recommend
the fourth edition of Principles and Practice of Stress Management
to researchers, practitioners, and graduate students alike. The
book is encyclopedic in introducing a wide variety of techniques
and approaches to stress management. The book is pervasively
updated, drawing on the wonderful proliferation of research on
therapeutic efficacy of these techniques since 2007, when the third
edition was published.--Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback,

medicine or health psychology will want to have their own copy of
this foundational book on their shelf….This book is a 'must have'
for anyone interested in stress management. This updated edition
gives a thorough review of where stress management currently stands
today, detailing best practices based on current research findings.
Perhaps most importantly, all the chapters are written by
accomplished authors with reputations in the field as experts (if
not the top experts) on their subject, providing clinical depth in
the approach and empirical grounding in the current research
literature.--Biofeedback, 8/1/2022
