Description
Learned Helplessness: A Theory for the Age of Personal Control
This influential book explores the concept of learned helplessness, a state of mind that arises from the expectation that events in the future are beyond control. First described in the 1960s, the theory has since been applied to a range of human problems, including depression, and has significant implications for our understanding of motivation, emotion, and learning.
Written by leading experts in the field, this volume provides a comprehensive summary and integration of the theory, research, and application of learned helplessness. The authors critically evaluate the existing work and outline future directions, making this book an essential resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, and anyone interested in the relationship between personal control and human well-being.
