The costs of occupational stress in absences, ill-health related
retirement, litigation and lost productivity are increasing,
putting strain on economies across the world. The fact that health
care work is inherently more stressful than many other occupations
makes it vital that the problem of occupational stress among health
professionals is addressed.
"CBT for Occupational Stress in Health Professionals" goes beyond
simply defining the problem and fills a gap in the current
literature by providing clear and concise individual treatment
interventions. In three parts, the book covers:
- an overview of stress in the occupational context
- the standard CBT approach to assessment, formulation and
treatment
- a new schema focused approach to treating occupational
stress
The schema focused approach presented here provides powerful tools
for treating a range of work related problems, for which standard
CBT approaches are ineffective. Case studies are presented
throughout the book to illustrate the therapeutic approaches
described.
This book will be of huge benefit to clinical and organizational
psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health workers, counselors and
anyone else involved in treating occupational stress. It will also
have much to offer those who manage people suffering from stress,
human resource workers and those who are experiencing work related
stress.
