Reviews

<p> This book by psychology academics and practitioners provides an overview of current practice in occupational health psychology . . . Nevertheless, this is not a light read but a book to dip into chapter at a time rather than read from cover to cover. ( Occupational Medicine , 18 November 2012)<p> Ideal for advanced scholars of OHP, the book will also be of interest to students of applied psychology. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals. ( Choice , 1 October 2012)
