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, ranging from Jonathan Smith on relaxation to Alice Meuret and Thomas Ritz on capnometric training to Shirley Telles and colleagues on yoga for stress management. The text Principles and Practice of Stress Management has long provided the most comprehensive scientifically informed resource for understanding stress and stress management. The fourth edition updates the scientific research, introduces new topics, and sharpens the focus in many chapters. Nevertheless, the preface of the fourth edition emphasizes the continued relevance of this book for the lay audience, human beings seeking guidance for managing their life stress.
