Work stress : health care systems in the workplace /

A collection of papers presented at a 1985 conference on work stress and health care. In this comprehensive volume, the authors, well-known experts in their field, present a broad spectrum of stress-related conditions in the workplace and discuss the relationship between prevention and therapy. Throughout the volume, contributing researchers and practitioners present different aspects of stress and suggest a number of intervention strategies. Excellent up-to-date sources covering a variety of disciplines are cited throughout the book. This volume would be useful to diverse audiences. Undergraduate and graduate students in nursing or health care administration would find this a valuable reference to stress-related conditions. More broadly, students interested in public policy issues either in the local workplace, in law, or on the national scene would find the papers covering labor views of stress management, preventive law trends, and compensation payments for stress-disabled workers extremely timely and useful. Recommended for upper-division and graduate collections.-L.S. Farris, Florida International University
