The Science of Occupational Health. Stress, Psychobiology, and the New World of Work; John Wiley & Sons Limited

The Science of Occupational Health is an evidence-based resource for all members of the health care team working with those affected by work-based stress – whether individuals suffering physical or psychological symptoms, or organizations trying to provide optimum conditions for healthy and productive employees. The authors offer a unique psychobiological perspective, discussing the modern workplace as a cause of stimulation and well-being, as well as of distress and illness. They provide a rigorous but highly accessible scientific account of the effects that stress has on mind and body, with key chapters on 'Responses to Stress', 'Stress-Related Health Problems', and 'Stress Hormones at Work'. This book offers the reader practical guidance on health promotion and preventive strategies at both individual and organizational levels. It concludes with a discussion of present occupational conditions around the world, and predictions of likely trends in the future. Foreword by Sir Michael Marmot, University College London
