La mesure du coping : une revue clinique des instruments

Many instruments are available for measuring coping ability, but only a few well-structured literature reviews have focused on the clinical relevance of these assessment instruments in the context of psychotherapeutic treatment. The present review would like to contribute to this question by discussing the theoretical issues of the concept of coping, followed by the presentation of a number of validated or at least interesting measurement instruments. Limitations, as well as potential for this research field and clinical applications are highlighted throughout the review. Recent developments and an exhaustive inventory of specific instruments are presented.
