Health theory of coping[]

The health theory of coping overcame limitations of previous coping theories by designating categories that were conceptually clear, mutually exclusive, comprehensive, functionally homogenous, functionally distinct, generative and flexible.[7] It's major differences are that it recognises that all coping reactions as being adaptive and functional that may initially reduce distress. Coping strategies are classified as either healthy or unhealthy, depending on their likelihood of additional adverse consequences.
