Reviews
This is an outstanding research-based book on the psychology of work. Anyone who studies work and how it affects people positively or negatively should read it., "In this rapidly changing economy and world of work, the publication of The Oxford Handbook of the Psychology of Working is particularly well timed. Although each chapter is in itself worthy of analysis and discussion, the gestalt of this book is the recognition of the tremendous social and economic changes in our society and the world in the past decades, the effect on the world of work, and the development of a new theoretical framework for the psychology of working. [This book] should find its place as a comprehensive, modern text for graduate- and postgraduate-level students in psychology, psychiatry, social work, rehabilitation counseling, and guidance counseling. Academic theorists, educators, and clinicians will undoubtedly identify many chapters that will illuminate current philosophy and practice and encourage new thinking and understanding of work within the context of the world we are living in." --Katherine J.

Synopsis
Researchers and practitioners interested in the role of work in people's lives are faced with the need for new perspectives to support clients, communities, and organizations. This handbook is designed to fill this notable gap in the literature by focusing on the full spectrum of people who work and who want to work across the diverse contexts that frame working in the 21st century., Work is a central aspect of life, providing a source of structure, a means of survival, connection to others, and optimally a means of self-determination. Across the globe, people devote considerable time and effort to preparing for, adjusting to, and managing their work lives. Many of the major crises affecting people and communities - including wars, famines, poverty, and risks to personal safety - have been and continue to be related to working. At the same time, working, when it is dignified and meaningful, can create the foundation for a satisfying life that allows people to support themselves and their families, and to find an outlet for their values and interests in the world of work. This handbook is designed to expand and deepen a growing discourse about the psychological nature of working. Building on critiques of psychology's traditional assumptions and practices about work and career, the psychology of working perspective has been advanced as an inclusive, broad-reaching framework that explores the nature of working for the full spectrum of people who work and who want to work. This volume is characterized by disciplinary pluralism with contributions from a wide range of scholars and practitioners interested in the role of work in people's lives. Chapters explore theoretical foundations, the context of working, counseling and psychotherapy, organizational implications, community-based interventions, and public policy. As a major resource in the psychology of working field, this book is a must-have for counseling and clinical psychologists, I/O psychologists, mental-health counselors, social workers, management consultants, and a wide array of researchers and students who are concerned with the nature of work in the 21st century, transformative scholarship, public policy, and inclusive psychological practice., Work is a central aspect of life, providing a source of structure, a means of survival, connection to others, and optimally a means of self-determination.

    Good price for the book. Shipping was slow. Messaged the seller a week after I ordered it to see when they were going to ship it. They responded immediately and said it would be shipped out soon. Got it about a week later. Book did arrive in the date range that they provided though  Minimal packaging. Book is Shrink wrapped and only wrapped in thin plastic. No bubble wrap. Book is in good shape though.

    The book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.
