For readers who are unfamiliar with this series a brief overview may be warranted here. Initiated in 2006, the regular volumes offer a set of chapters each of which has its focus on a discreet topic of current pertinence within the occupational health psychology (OHP) umbrella. All contributions are authored by individuals who are recognised by the international community as experts in the particular area of activity on which they are writing. The chapters within each volume are divided across three sections: research, education and professional practice, a structure that reflects the three pillars of activity on which the Academy operates. Chapters are designed to be of interest to a broad range of researchers, practitioners, educators and students of the discipline. Consistent with the Academy's constitutional objective to enhance awareness, knowledge and understanding of OHP, the series is affordably priced to ensure broad access.
