FREE CHAPTER FROM THE TEXTBOOK ON STRESS PSYCHOLOGY
On this page, you can get a free taster of Fundamentals of Strain Psychology. You can read the book’s introduction, the foreword by Anders Korsgaard, Chief Psychologist at Rigshospitalet’s Crisis Psychology Clinic, a brief reading guide, and the book’s thought-provoking prologue on the invulnerable helper, the all-powerful leader and the big ‘why’? A total of 35 pages as a gift for you.
Fundamentals of Strain Psychology is written for professionals working in a mentally high-risk job – that is, a job in which one is confronted with accidents, threats, trauma, abuse, death or other traumatic events through their encounters with people in crisis or who have been traumatised, or a job that otherwise places great demands on empathy and on dealing with painful emotions.
»The *Introduction to Occupational Psychology* has made us, as health and safety representatives, aware of the stresses involved in emergency work – and has enabled us to focus our health and safety efforts in precisely that direction.”
Louise Mikkelsen
Nurse and health and safety representative in the A&E department at Horsens Regional Hospital
From book to course – or the other way around
Fundamentals of Strain Psychology forms the basis for the institute’s introductory course on the same subject. The Introductory Course in Stress Psychology is a “do-it-yourself” course for workplaces with high emotional demands. The course makes work on the psychological working environment tangible, meaningful and engaging – and draws directly on the significant resources that already exist within your organisation.
