SOURCES.

Creators of this website are ms. M. Kool and mr. R. Oonk.

In our jobs as respectively nursing consultant and physiotherapist in the psychosomatic field we often encounter people who are faced with stress.

R. Oonk is specialised in this field, he treats in his practices for physiotherapy in Rotterdam, the Netherlands a lot of patients with physical complaints as a direct result of stress. We find that stress on the internet is shaped vaguely, therefore we decided to make a site that has information about stress that is informative and useful to people confronted with stress. We have also tried to include as many pointers and useful advice.

We have used several sources in making this site. The material on this site is nearly all based on knowledge that derives from several books, magazines and websites. We have not tried to present information as if we invented or discovered it, because we didn't.

It is impossible to reinvent all theories and information present on this site. We refer to those who have, on this page, by acknowledgements.

Because most of the information concerns psychological scientific literature, we have chosen to refer to articles and sources by using the APA-norm. Sometimes we refer to a source directly in an article on the site.

SOURCES / ACCOUNTABILITY

The creators of this site are mrs. M Kool and mr. R. Oonk. We have sought advice from other people for both content and design.

In our work in healthcare we see many people dealing with stress. Because stress in our opinion is often unclear on the web and very sprea, we decided to maximize a site to accommodate for this void. Hopefully we can give clear information, better than what we believe is now the case .

In creating this website we have used different sources. The material is based entirely on knowledge contained in various books, magazines and websites. The creators of this website in no way tried to make it look like they have developed theories that have been discussed.

It is impossible to reinvent all theories and information. We refer to those that have done so via the source.

Because the psychological and scientific literature, we chose to refer to literature under the APA standard.

Should the situation arise that people get hurt or that we violate any law, although we are very hesitant to use sources, we ask you to contact us.
