Emotion and Adaptation

Zusatztext Richard Lazarus has consistently been both thorough and interesting in the psychological questions he has addressed ... the theory is robust enough to cope with all the matters, perhaps because it is drawn with an elegant simplicity ... it is written with a scholarly mixture of erudition and goodwill which can carry one through the more difficult reaches. It somehow represents a successful attempt at adaptation and coping by its author and one which seems to have been based on many years of foresight. Reading this book is a little like uncorking a fine wine which was laid down some years ago. Klappentext In this landmark work! Richard Lazarus -- one of the world's foremost authorities -- offers a comprehensive treatment of the psychology of emotion! its role in adaptation! and the issues that must be addressed to understand it. Zusammenfassung This work aims to provide a complete theory of the emotional processes, explaining how different emotions are elicited and expressed, and how the emotional range of individuals develops over their lifetime.
