The book falls roughly into two sections; one dealing with specific psychiatric conditions and the other with workplace stress. The former begins with a superb chapter Assessing mental health problems in the workplace. There are also chapters on anxiety, depression, substance abuse, critical incidents, chronic fatigue syndrome, schizophrenia and organic states.

The high quality information on these difficult topics will be appreciated by many clinicians.
