Handbook of Occupational Health Psychology

This second edition of the Handbook of Occupational Health Psychology reviews the history of OHP; theories and models; causes of work problems and risks; resulting symptoms and disorders; prevention, intervention, and treatment strategies used by practicing professionals; and methods of research and evaluation. The chapters have been updated since the first edition was published, and several new chapters address cross-cultural issues, leadership, pain and musculoskeletal conditions, substance abuse, and organizational justice.
