INTRODUCTION
It is hard to escape from accounts of adversity in today's world. As I write this, the first page of the daily newspaper sitting on the corner of my desk reveals articles about ethnic conflict, fraud, an epidemic, and youth violence. Inside the paper are accounts of other forms of adversity which, although less sensational, still produce unfortunate results to the people involved.
Although identifying various types of adversity is an easy task, finding solutions for them is considerably more difficult. Indeed, the problems of the world defy easy solution, requiring an understanding of how various types of adversity arise and how they are perpetuated.
This volume is designed to highlight the range of approaches to adversity taken by faculty affiliated with the Departments of Psychology at the campuses of the University of Massachusetts. The book, which evolved from a conference in Boston at which the authors discussed theory, research, and applications relating to the topic of psychological adversity, has three specific goals.
