This book deals increasingly with a significant challenge related to the development of virtuous circularity between scientifically based methodological frameworks and perspectives of interventions and innovation both on theoretical and applicative levels. The present volume is characterised by a review of current theoretical perspectives, research and intervention in the field of psychology of counselling according to an international point of view. This volume outlines potentialities and applications of psychology of counselling in different contexts and in wide-ranging international optics, such as prevention, a multicultural or colour-blind approach, application of emotional intelligence in counselling, family context, adaptive counselling, clinical, therapeutic, educational context, mediation, mortgage, taking into account individual well-being and life satisfaction. On the one hand this volume offers an overview of major theoretical perspectives for an in-depth reflection on psychology of counselling, and on the other hand could open new horizons of the discipline and new opportunities for intervention, implementing specific training for counsellors to develop effective skills, especially relying on scientific recent research and intervention outcomes. This work aims to further contribute to the study of the psychology of counselling as a discipline in constant evolution, able to identify new needs and challenges and answer effectively with innovative interventions and relation to social, economic and cultural changes of contemporary society.

This book offers a review of current theoretical and research perspectives regarding neuroticism and its impact on job performance and health outcomes. The aim is continuing to stimulate the reflection on neuroticism at both theoretical and intervention levels. The volume presents researches and perspectives about neuroticism with a focus on organisational contexts, addressed to widen the horizon regarding neuroticism and its associations in job performance and health outcomes. Concerning the research in organisational contexts, neuroticism is considered in relation to job satisfaction, workaholism, organisational and emotional intelligence, health risks, prevention in organisations, and promotion of workers strengths in the first part of the volume. In the second part, they are reflections relative to: physiological correlates of neuroticism, relations between neuroticism and extraversion in different contexts, associations of neuroticism with innovative and adaptive outcomes (for example, flourishing and Intrapreneurial Self-Capital, and career outcomes), and concluding with the importance of continuing to study neuroticism in a cross cultural perspective. The hope is that this book can really help to enhance the study of neuroticism, its characteristics, and the impact it possesses on job performance and health outcomes. The volume constitutes an aid to the valorisation and protection of human resources. Its goal is giving a real contribution to favor both the performance and well-being of workers, promoting organisational productivity, business success, well-being and healthy environments in organisations.

This book underlines the importance of a preventive perspective for healthy and sustainable organisations. The book presents a cross-cultural approach regarding problems and possible resources for strengthening healthy organisations. Primary prevention can be considered as a universal value and for this reason primary preventive interventions have to be taken into account for improving strengths, also if articulated globally on the basis of different contexts and cultures. This volume gives a contribution to the challenge to overcome a dark side towards a positive side in organisations, focusing on healthy people as flourishing and resilient workers. The book includes contributions from different Western and Eastern countries, highlighting the relevance in a cross-cultural perspective of a positive work environment in promoting employee health, well-being, and performance. The book includes two parts. The first part presents contributions that look to go beyond the dark side in organisations in a cross-cultural perspective, individuating new awareness, resources and perspectives. The second part aims to expand the horizons, particularly focusing on a primary prevention perspective with the aim of giving a contribution in concretely building healthy organisations. Thanks to the chapters of the different authors, this book is a relevant and substantive contribution in the framework of a cross-cultural approach to promote a positive preventive psychology for healthy organisations. The volume also stressed the value and the challenge of a primary prevention in a cross-cultural perspective for building healthy work environments. As a whole, this book advances a positive cross-cultural primary preventive perspective to promote healthier and more sustainable workers and organisations in the third millennium, identifying it as a value to share in terms of a valuable point of reference for practice and research.
