<p>“This book by psychology academics and practitioners provides an overview of current practice in occupational health psychology . . . Nevertheless, this is not a light read but a book to dip into chapter at a time rather than read from cover to cover.”  (<i>Occupational Medicine</i>, 18 November 2012)</p> <p>“Ideal for advanced scholars of OHP, the book will also be of interest to students of applied psychology.  Summing Up: Recommended.  Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.”  (<i>Choice</i>, 1 October 2012)</p>
