In recent years hard scientific evidence has emerged which links stress and various disease states. The mechanisms underlying the interplay between brain-neuroendocrine and immune systems are the focus of much current research. Unlike other recent publications which are for specialists and frequently compromise detailed accounts, this book is for researchers who require a general insight into the topic.
