The Routledge Companion to Mental Health at Work

The Routledge Companion to Mental Health at Work

The issue of mental health at work has become a hot topic in both the popular media and academic writings. Although job stress and mental ill-health are associated with negative outcomes for individuals teams and organizations there has been some suggestion that changing the work environment and creating healthy workplaces can improve worker health. Much of the current works in the general of health is fractured coming from a variety of disciplines and perspectives without an organizing framework to help guide research and practice in the area. Having this individualized compartmentalized perspective constrains our ability to fully understand the scope of the issue the key factors in supporting or detracting from one’s mental health and interventions focusing on mental health at work. Given the importance of understanding mental health at work and the current lack of coverage on workplace mental health there is a need for a book to provide a holistic overview of the issue targeting the environmental individual and group influences of mental health and well-being as well as the impact on individuals and workplaces. This handbook provides a conceptual framework for examining these issues. Each chapter offers an in-depth examination of the key facets of mental health at work focusing both on the seminal and current literature on the topic and practical suggestions for best practices for organizations. With contributions from leading experts authors address the state-of-the-art research and integrate current events that are shaping the way we work and our wellbeing at work. This edited collection will be of interest to researchers academics policymakers and advanced students in the fields of human resource management organizational psychology and management. | The Routledge Companion to Mental Health at Work

The Routledge International Handbook of Social Development Social Work and the Sustainable Development Goals

The Routledge International Handbook of Social Development Social Work and the Sustainable Development Goals answers the question: What is the contribution of social development and social work to the Sustainable Development Goals? The success of these goals requires implementation and each of the 17 objectives for sustainable social progress have a social dimension. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) like the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) before them were born of a larger social development movement which over the last 25 years has become increasingly mainstream in the fields of international development sustainability and social work.

This book broadens the current literature by focusing on key sites throughout the Global South and featuring underrepresented voices from Africa Asia and Latin America. These regions are vitally important to assessing the SDGs as this is where innovative social development projects are occurring and where social workers are playing a leading role in achieving the SDGs. The book is divided into eight parts: • Context of Social Development Social Work and the SDGs • Perspectives on the SDGs • Case Studies on Engagement with the SDG Agenda • Case Studies on Ending Poverty • Case Studies on Health and Well-Being • Case Studies on Gender Equality • Case Studies on Climate and Sustainability • Case Studies on Governance Peace and Justice It comprises 35 newly written chapters by 74 authors.

Mapping the Total Value Stream A Comprehensive Guide for Production and Transactional Processes

Mapping the Total Value Stream A Comprehensive Guide for Production and Transactional Processes

Mapping the Total Value Stream defines and elaborates on the concepts of value stream mapping (VSM) for both production and transactional processes. This book reshapes and extends the lessons originally put forward in a number of pioneering works including the popular Value Stream Management for the Lean Office. It reinforces fundamental concepts and theoretical models with real-world applications and complete examples of the value stream mapping technique. To educate VSM mappers on the specific mechanics of the technique the text provides in-depth explanations for commonly encountered situations. The authors also provide a more complete perspective on the concept of availability. While they discuss availability of equipment in transactional processes they extend the concept by elaborating on availability as it applies to employees. The calculation of process lead time for work queues is taken to an advanced level � not only is the calculation of this lead time explained but the text also covers the very real possibility of having more work in the queue than available time. While previous books have focused on only production process VSM or transactional process VSM this work meets the real needs of both manufacturers and service sector organizations by dealing with both types. It goes beyond explaining each scenario to teach readers what techniques are commonly applicable to both and also explains areas of difference so that mappers will be able to readily adapt to whatever unique situations present themselves. | Mapping the Total Value Stream A Comprehensive Guide for Production and Transactional Processes

Basic Interviewing A Practical Guide for Counselors and Clinicians

Basic Interviewing A Practical Guide for Counselors and Clinicians

This book offers clear and direct answers to the questions most frequently asked by students and trainees learning how to talk to clients and extract critical data from them. Its development reflects the old adage that necessity is the mother of invention. For many years the editors taught beginning level mental health clinicians. They found however no text to be satisfactory-including a number that they themselves were involved in producing. Some were too difficult; some were too simplistic; some were too doctrinaire; still others had missing elements. Written in a reader-friendly how-to style the chapters in Basic Interviewing are not weighed down by references. Rather each contributor suggests readings for students and instructors who wish to pursue questions further. After the initial overview chapter there are 12 chapters addressing the nuts-and-bolts concerns of all clinicians that can be particularly vexing for neophytes. They cover a variety of issues from the most specific-like how to begin and end interviews-to the more general-like how to build rapport and identify targets for treatment. Throughout rich clinical illustrations facilitate the pragmatic application of fundamental principles. Beginning graduate students in counseling and clinical psychology social work and other allied mental health fields as well as psychiatric trainees will find this text to be an indispensable companion. | Basic Interviewing A Practical Guide for Counselors and Clinicians
