Opis

Increasingly, social support research has fragmented into separate areas dominated by specific, narrow topics. There seems to be no consensus about the definition, measurement or even the concept of social support itself. To address this concern, an international symposium was held in May 1990 at the Werner Reimers Foundation in Bad Homburg, Germany.
