Reviews

'While several books and journal articles have discussed stress-management at work and in organizations, this volume differs in that it builds upon the notion of positive psychology, examining interventions that endeavour not just to reduce stress but also to enhance people's well-being in their work environment. It includes perspectives from practitioners and stress-management researchers, and will appeal to both groups. The wide range of topics covered and the linkage between research and practice will be an especially valuable feature of this book, which I highly recommend for both researchers and practitioners.'Michael P. O'Driscoll, Professor of Psychology, University of Waikato, New Zealand'A comprehensive review of work stress interventions that captures new innovative approaches to create healthy workplaces. Nicely balanced between theoretical developments and support for practitioners wishing to develop, implement and evaluate their practice. A must for academics, researchers and practitioners.'Philip Dewe, Professor of Organisational Behaviour, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK
