Abstract
The demands for psychological coping and adaptation for the patient with renal disease are tremendous. This chapter presents conceptual models of psychological adjustment to illness and highlights aspects of adaptation across key common experiences for the renal patient and their caregivers: critical illness, dialysis, and transplantation. Content areas will traverse models of stress coping, self-regulation, knowledge of traumatic and crisis reactions, and elements of chronic disease management.
