Rich with practical advice, Intervention in Occupational Stress focuses on intervention strategies that therapists and other helping professionals can use to help individuals suffering from the emotional and psychological stresses of the workplace. Filled with illustrative case studies, the chapters in this volume define the nature of occupational stress and provide information about the emotional, behavioral, psychological, and cognitive symptoms that can occur. Randall R. Ross and Elizabeth M. Altmaier discuss the various factors that influence the individual, the work setting, and the larger social context. They explore relaxation training, stress management programs, and other coping strategies such as job redesign and career planning. Methods to evaluate interventions are also presented.
