title: Coping--every man's war.
abstract: The concept of coping is firmly embedded in warlike connotations. This article explores three settings for coping behavior that illustrate long-term consequences of coping: the coping of survivors of Nazi concentration camps, the coping of an ancient city, and the coping shown by a modern nation state at war. Coping may have effects which are beneficial in the short run but ominous in the long run.
