Wood and Zalaquett have produced the first resource that brings together accurate and detailed descriptions of instruments designed to measure stress. The authors identified renowned experts in various therapeutic and stress management fields and asked them to present information about the instruments they have developed. The result is this compendium that describes 21 different instruments that are designed to measure a broad range of factors. The following information is included about each instrument: -Name of the instrument -Brief history of the instrument, its underlying assumptions, premises and objectives -A summary of the research -Conditions for use -Benefits and limitations in the use of the instrument -Major references for research -Key references for finding measure, psychometrics, and instructions for use -A case example to illustrate the type of information provided by the instrument This seminal reference tool captures both the diversity and complexity of the field and provides the ideal starting point for psychologists, counselors, social workers, academicians, students, and others who evaluate stress in individuals, groups, or organizations.
