Review of the monograph by E.V. Volkova, I.O. Kuvaeva "Coping intelligence: a differentiation-integration approach"

Abstract

The book is devoted to the develop a new approach to the understanding of Coping Intelligence as a special form of organizing the mental experience of overcoming difficult life situations. There is no doubt that this is one of the most promising areas of research on stress and coping, which unites the efforts of researchers from different branches of science working in this problem area (physicians, psychologists, psychophysiologists, biochemists, culturologists, linguists, etc.), and will make it possible to critically rethink the huge amount of empirical data on stress and coping, including the influence of culture and context, maintaining health, personality development, well-being, and, perhaps, will lead to the creation of a unified theory of stress and coping from the standpoint of the systems approach.
