Cbt For Occupational Stress In Health Professionals: Introducing A Schema-Focused Approach

The costs of occupational stress in terms of sickness absence, ill-health-related retirement, litigation and lost productivity are increasing, putting strain on economies across the world. The fact that healthcare work is inherently more stressful than many other occupations makes it vital that the problem of occupational stress among health professionals is addressed. CBT for Occupational Stress in Health Professionals goes beyond simply defining the problem and fills a gap in the current literature by providing clear and concise individual treatment interventions. In three parts, the book presents a schema-focused approach, providing powerful tools for treating a range of work-related problems for which standard CBT approaches are ineffective. Case studies illustrate the therapeutic approaches described. This book will be of huge benefit to clinical and organizational psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health workers, counselors, and anyone involved in treating occupational stress. It also offers valuable insights for managers, human resource workers, and those experiencing work-related stress.
