This practical guide focuses on the intervention strategies which can be employed by counsellors to help individuals suffering from emotional and physiological stresses engendered in the workplace.Throughout the text, key points are illustrated by a wealth of case studies, while individual chapters define the nature of occupational stress and provide information about the emotional, behavioural, physiological and cognitive symptoms which can occur. Ross and Altmaier also discuss the factors influencing the problem: factors which can be tied to the individual, to the work setting and to the larger social context.Specific coping strategies explored are targeted both at the individual, for example relaxation training and stress management programmes, and at the workplace, for instance job redesign and career planning. Finally, methods that practitioners can use to evaluate their interventions are presented in detail.This handbook will be an invaluable resource for both managers and counsellors concerned with the control of occupational stress.
