This extensive revision of the now-classic text incorporates the most recent findings from various disciplines into the treatment of pathogenic human stress arousal. New and revised chapters bring together the art and science of intervention, based on up-to-date neuroscience, beginning with an innovative model tracing the stress-to-disease continuum throughout the human body's systems. The authors provide detailed information on the spectrum of physiological and psychological treatments for the stress response, encompassing cognitive therapy, neuromuscular relaxation, breathing exercises, nutritional interventions, and pharmacotherapy. They also evaluate the strengths and limitations of commonly used measures of the stress response and consider the role of personality factors, cultural considerations, and resilience in stress mediation.

Included in the coverage:
1. The anatomy and physiology of the human stress response.
2. Advances in neuroscience: implications for stress.
3. Crisis intervention and psychological first aid.
4. Neurophysiological rationale for the use of the relaxation response.
5. Physical exercise and the human stress response.
6. The pharmacological management of stress reactions.
7. Disaster Mental Health Planning.
8. Cultural Awareness and Stress.

The Fourth Edition of A Clinical Guide to the Treatment of Human Stress Response offers readers a dual perspective, which is exceptionally valuable in examining the origins of the stress response and in preventing and treating the response itself. This rich integrative volume will undoubtedly join its predecessors in popularity among practitioners and students across disciplines and specialties.
