Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical summary of individual coping strategies and family coping strategies based on a review of the literature. The results of this study show the social genesis of coping, designed from a cognitive phenomenological approach consistent with the symbolic interactionist which explains, from the close interactive relationship between individuals and institutions to which it belongs, how to use
these strategies to individual and family level. Also we highlighted the positive relationship of coping with health and functionality of the family system.
