The collective term used by the authors, "stress spectrum disorder", explains the major causal factors that determine and maintain symptoms of physical and psychological overload. Specific recommendations are given for those who suffer from symptoms or have already been diagnosed with a psychological disorder. Special attention is given to people in the public eye, such as managers or executives. The explanatory, conditional, disorder and maintenance model is based on phylogenetic patterns of people in general as well as individual biography-specific patterns. In addition to the explanation of the disorder models, concrete assistance is provided, be it phylogenetic-human or individual-biographical.
