Samenvatting:

Designed to contain broad, deep, and current perspectives on compensation, this volume continues the processes of:
* explicating the concept of compensation;
* linking and distinguishing compensation from neighboring concepts;
* describing the variety of compensatory mechanisms operating in a wide range of phenomena; and
* illustrating how compensatory mechanisms can be harnessed or trained to manage losses or deficits and to promote gains or at least maintenance of functioning.
