Recenzje

McCarty's book is an insightful exploration of the historical underpinnings of our current understanding of the scientific concept of stress. He provides a thoughtful and detailed description of how we came to our current understanding of the role of stress in mental disorders. This book challenges us to think more deeply about the role of stress in mental health, and is informative not just for the newcomer but also for those engaged in the study of stress in mental health. Each chapter brings richness and details not only about the science behind our understanding of stress in mental health but also about the individuals that drove the science and the forces that drove them."-Seema Bhatnagar, PhD, Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania
