Von der hinteren Coverseite

Wellbeing: A Complete Reference Guide is the first multi-volume, interdisciplinary exploration of the topic of wellbeing. The notion of wellbeing has grown in importance and prominence across the globe in recent years and this reference work provides an in-depth examination of the characteristics that enable individuals and organizations to thrive and flourish. Under the direction of noted academic Cary Cooper, and edited by a distinguished group of senior scholars from a variety of disciplines, this project looks at wellbeing from multiple perspectives, including children and families; the workplace; the environment; later life; economics; and interventions and public policy. Spanning the social sciences and encompassing the latest research, this is an essential reference for scholars, students, professionals, and policymakers who want to enhance and promote human wellbeing.

The first volume, Wellbeing in Children and Families, provides a wide-ranging look at the factors that positively―and negatively―affect the wellbeing of children and families. The coverage is broken into four sections which discuss core developmental competencies necessary for success in later life; the role of the family; the impact of different settings, such as home, child care, and school; and factors associated with lower levels of wellbeing, such as poverty, environmental stressors, and high-risk neighborhoods. The volume brings together the latest research from leaders in the field of child development and outlines important recommendations for families, caregivers, educators, social workers, and policymakers to assure and increase child wellbeing in the future.
