Synopsis

Book by Lazarus Richard S

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

this latest offering is indeed a seminal work, a momentous study and truly a labour of loe that is reflected throughout the many pages. This is altogether a challenging and intellectually stimulating book... Lazarus demands attention, especially from sociologists concerned with recent developments associated with the re-discovery of the self, the mind and the body. I am now more convinced that emotion is not just at the centre of psychological study, but of social science generally, and is therefore a phenomena requiring a multidisciplinary approach. (Social Science Teacher)

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. (Ken Strongman, University of Canterbury, New Zealand, The Psychologist, December 1992)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Lazarus offers a theory of emotion that is cognitive, motivational, and relational, a position he has pioneered over the last forty years. Clearly written and controversial, this book will appeal to both the student and professional researcher in personality, social, and clinical psychology, as well as in cognitive and development psychology. It is an ideal supplementary textbook in courses on psychology of adjustment and psychology of emotion and feeling.
