Fourth Annual Report on Stress, 1954
نویسنده
چکیده
This volume, the fourth annual supplement to Dr. Hans Selye's book "Stress", is unlikely to be of interest to the majority of readers. Although it does contain several original articles by authors of international repute on subjects of general clinical interest, the bulk of the 750 pages are taken up by an extremely comprehensive bibliography relating to recent research on the Stress Theory of disease and allied subjects. Such a bibliography is, obviously, primarily of interest to the research worker and student of Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome than the general reader. The Stress theory holds an important place in clinical medicine and may well in the future make very worthwhile contributions to psychiatry. For those wishing to learn something of the theory pages 30 to 37 offer a concise, readable and relatively non-technical account of it.
