Work is a central aspect of life, providing a source of structure,
a means of survival, connection to others, and optimally a means of
self-determination. Across the globe, people devote considerable
time and effort in preparing for, adjusting to, and managing their
work lives. Many of the major crises affecting people and
communities have been and continue to be related to working,
including wars, famines, poverty, and risks to personal safety. At
the same time, working, when it is dignified and meaningful, can
create the foundation for a satisfying life that allows people to
support themselves and their families, and to find an outlet for
their values and interests in the world of work. This handbook is
designed to expand and deepen a growing discourse about the
psychological nature of working. Building on critiques of
traditional assumptions and practices about work and career in
psychology, the psychology of working perspective has been advanced
as an inclusive, broad-reaching framework that explores the nature
of working for the full spectrum of people who work and who want to
work. This volume is characterized by disciplinary pluralism with
contributions from a wide range of scholars and practitioners
interested in the role of work in people's lives. Chapters explore
theoretical foundations, the context of working, counseling and
psychotherapy, organizational implications, community-based
interventions, and public policy. As a major resource in the
psychology of working field, this book is a must-have for
counseling and clinical psychologists, I/O psychologists, mental
health counselors, social workers, management consultants, and a
wide array of researchers and students who are concerned with the
nature of work in the 21st century, transformative scholarship,
public policy, and inclusive psychological practice.
