Reviews

"Though, as may be expected, some chapters are stronger as a review than others, this first volume of a series on contemporary OHP by Nottingham University and Wiley-Blackwell is a commendable initiative." (Scandinavian Journal of Work, 2011) "It is of interest for all those involved with the protection and promotion of workers' health and safety. For occupational health professionals, it enables a deeper understanding of the roots of many commonly encountered work problems and helps improve the quality of advice given as well as to help refine practice." (Occupational Medicine, 1 March 2011) "Since its emergence as a discipline in the 1990s, occupational health psychology has generated a wealth of scientific knowledge on work-related stress and wider organisational issues associated with individual and organisational health. This text aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the discipline and a reader-friendly overview of the key themes in research and practice." ( Times Higher Education , November 2010)
