Book Description

ISBN-10: 0761922555 | ISBN-13: 978-0761922551 | Publication Date: June 15, 2002 | Edition: 1

Organizations need to contend with issues related to disruptive psychopathological behavior that in years past may have been swept under the rug. Also, clinicians are more aware that their clients' mental health concerns are influenced by the workplace and that treatment without regard to what happens at work is not apt to be successful.

The Handbook of Mental Health in the Workplace explores how psychological disorders impact the ability to work and recommends treatments and their likely side effects. It is designed to give the mental health clinician, I/O psychologist, and human resources manager the information they need to determine the employee's fitness for work and what, if any, accommodations may be needed.

This review is from: Handbook of Mental Health in the Workplace (Hardcover)

It took 14 days to receive this item and the binding and cover was damaged. This book was supposed to be new, but did not arrive in new condition. I am glad to have the book, but disappointed that it took 2 weeks to get it.
