Dr. David Fernandez’s book Stress as a Condition: Defining Stress in General, and Physiological Stress in Particular ($11.99, paperback, 9781545670583; $23.99, hardcover, 9781545670590, $5.99, e-book, 9781545670606), is available for purchase.

 

In Stress as a Condition: Defining Stress in General, and Physiological Stress in Particular, Dr. Fernandez formulates the following definition of stress in its three forms: mechanical, physiological, and psychological. Stress is a condition depending on two conflicting components. The difference between the threes forms of stress depends on the nature of the components involved. In mechanical stress the components are forces opposing each other. In biological stress the conflict is between response and inhibition of responses. What makes the difference among the three forms of stress is the nature of the two components involved in the condition of stress.

 

After examining stress as described in this book, readers will have a broader perspective and will better understand what stress is. Readers will then be able to come to additional conclusions on their own about different aspects of human knowledge where stress is an essential part, such as in psychology, sociology, anthropology, evolution, and religion, to name a few.

 

Dr. Fernandez was born in Havana Cuba on April 14, 1930.  After practicing medicine in Cuba for 9 years, he emigrated to the U.S, got his medical license, and served in the Air Force. Upon realizing that many researchers had misunderstood the concept of stress proposed by Hans H. Selye, Fernandez contacted Selye and collaborated with him for several years, until Selye’s death to clarify that stress is not a response but a condition. Dr. Fernandez enjoys researching stress as it relates to different disciplines. He also likes gardening and using his computer.
