Reviews

This is an outstanding research-based book on the psychology of work. Anyone who studies work and how it affects people positively or negatively should read it. -- Biz India The book's look and feel, and the authors' writing styles, are scholarly/professional. This volume is interesting/relevant/accessible for readers beyond the psychological field. Blustein has received multiple practitioner/research awards and has written extensively on work-related topics. -D. Truty, Northeastern Illinois University, CHOICE In this rapidly changing economy and world of work, the publication of The Oxford Handbook of the Psychology of Working is particularly well timed. Although each chapter is in itself worthy of analysis and discussion, the gestalt of this book is the recognition of the tremendous social and economic changes in our society and the world in the past decades, the effect on the world of work, and the development of a new theoretical framework for the psychology of working.[This handbook] should find its place as a comprehensive, modern text for graduate- and postgraduate-level students in psychology, psychiatry, social work, rehabilitation counseling, and guidance counseling. Academic theorists, educators, and clinicians will undoubtedly identify many chapters that will illuminate current philosophy and practice and encourage new thinking and understanding of work within the context of the world we are living in. --Katherine J. Edwards, M.Ed., Psychiatric Services
