We talk about stress and pressures all the time. But the very fact that we can talk about it says something about us. It says that we have coping strategies that we apply to try to free ourselves from pressure. Coping. No equivalent word has been found in Romanian. To cope, to manage... as if none of them is sufficiently covering the complexity of coping as a phenomenon.
Coping strategies are those attempts, those efforts that we make to deal, in one way or another, with the obstacles that life puts in our way. Coping is not necessarily about fighting, but also about acceptance and understanding. It is about coping somehow and moving on. It is about learning to cope in different life contexts. And yes, it is a learning, a lesson that brings us information about ourselves and the world. About what we encounter and how we position ourselves in the encounter. It is about how we adapt and chameleonize ourselves to integrate into the environment.
At a purely human level, coping refers to all the mechanisms that are activated to get out of the impasse. Depending on the construction of each one, the mechanisms can be cognitive, emotional, proactive, defensive, avoidance. Coping strategies also differ depending on the context. One and the same person can approach stressors at home and at work differently. Or stressors in the morning versus in the evening. Or those during the year versus those during the Christmas holiday. There is no clear algorithm according to which we choose certain strategies. There may be a pattern, but even this does not remain constant throughout life. Because we evolve (or involute). Because we grow (or wear out). And we make adjustments. And we relate more easily (or more difficultly) to events we have faced before. But whatever the situation, one way or another, we manage to get out of the impasse. Smoother or more wrinkled, more knowledgeable or more disoriented, but we manage to get out, and this is the miracle of the human being. That he can cope even when he thinks he can't anymore.
This volume on coping brings the reader interesting texts, diary entries from experienced people, scientific texts from specialists, studies that show the relationships between coping and other psychological variables. It combines data and facts that may bring additional knowledge and clarification to the curious reader.
