Draws on hundreds of case studies to provide a step by step guide
to spot workaholism, understand it, and recover Americans love a
hard worker. The worker who toils eighteen-hour days and eats meals
on the run between appointments is usually viewed with a
combination of respect and awe. But for many, this lifestyle leads
to family problems, a decline in work productivity, and ultimately
to physical and mental collapse. Intended for anyone touched by
what Robinson calls “the best-dressed problem of the twenty-first
century,” Chained to the Desk provides an inside look at
workaholism’s impact on those who live and work with work
addicts—partners, spouses, children, and colleagues—as well as
the appropriate techniques for clinicians who treat them.
Originally published in 1998, this groundbreaking book from
best-selling author and widely respected family therapist Bryan E.
Robinson was the first comprehensive portrait of the workaholic. In
this new and fully updated third edition, Robinson draws on
hundreds of case reports from his own original research and years
of clinical practice. The agonies of workaholism have grown all the
more challenging in a world where the computer, cell phone, and
iPhone allow twenty-four-hour access to the office, even on
weekends and from vacation spots. Adult children of workaholics
describe their childhood pain and the lifelong legacies they still
carry, and the spouses or partners of workaholics reveal the
isolation and loneliness of their vacant relationships. Employers
and business colleagues discuss the cost to the company when
workaholism dominates the workplace. Chained to the Desk both
counsels and consoles. It provides a step-by-step guide to help
readers spot workaholism, understand it, and recover.
