What are the effects of conflict between home and work? Does work
stress affect those who live with you? In the rapidly changing
modern work environment, time pressures seem ever increasing and
new technology allows work to be conducted any time and anywhere.
These are just two of the factors that make it more and more
difficult for working men and women to integrate work and home
life. Consequently, there is a need for flexible and innovative
solutions to manage the work-home interface. Work-Life Balance: A
Psychological Perspective presents up-to-date information on
work-home issues, including the latest research findings. The
book's emphasis is strongly psychological, with a focus on
practical solutions, and includes chapters which deal with
psychological issues such as the conflict between work and family,
how work stresses may affect partners, and recovery from work. It
also includes sections on legal issues, as well as examples of
initiatives being implemented by leading employers. Contributors
are drawn from the leading researchers in their fields and reflect
the international character of the current challenges facing
employers and employees. Its practical focus and innovative
approach make this an essential book for managers, HR professionals
and organizational psychologists, as well as students in these
disciplines. The theoretical basis and research focus mean the book
will also be invaluable for researchers investigating workplace
issues.

The new edition of Health Psychology is the perfect introduction to
this rapidly developing field. Throughout the book, the
psychological processes that shape health-related behaviors, and
affect core functions such as the immune and cardiovascular
systems, are clearly explained. These relationships provide the
foundation for psychological interventions which can change
cognition, perception and behavior, thereby improving health. The
book is split into five sections, and builds to provide a
comprehensive overview of the field: the biological basis of health
and illness stress and health coping resources: social support and
individual differences motivation and behavior relating to patients
Extensively revised to include new material on behavioral change,
the role of stress, resilience and social support, recovery from
work, and the care of people with chronic disease, the book also
includes a range of features which highlight key issues, and engage
readers in applying what we have learned from research. This is
essential reading for any undergraduates studying this exciting
field for the first time, and the perfect primer for those
embarking on postgraduate study.
