  • Explores different theories and models of stress such as the psychosomatic approach, homeostasis, and general adaptation syndrome.
  • Discusses the work and intriguing contributions of key researchers in the field such as Walter Cannon, Hans Selye, Harold Wolff, and Richard Lazarus.
  • Explains the origins of key concepts in stress such as stressful life events, the coronary-prone personality, and appraisals and coping.
