“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.”  (Occupational Medicine, 18 November 2012)

“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.”  (Choice, 1 October 2012)
