Already, the COVID-19 pandemic has left a deep mark on all levels of
human activity and sentiment. As far as the best possible management of
the situation is concerned, it is not only up to governments and experts
in health systems, but ultimately up to each individual to act
appropriately. Understanding the psychological background and the
societal context is essential. This essential is also intended to make a
contribution in the sense of joint and successful coping.
This Springer essential is a translation of the original German 1st
edition COVID-19 und Psychologie by John G. Haas, published by
Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The
translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine
translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was
done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read
stylistically different from a conventional translation. Springer Nature
works continuously to further the development of tools for the
production of books and on the related technologies to support the
authors.
