It covers a wide range of topics of current pertinence and, as such, provides a snapshot of cutting edge research activity in the discipline.
The book should be considered core reading for researchers, practitioners, educators and students with an interest in the rapidly evolving field of occupational health psychology and exists as an ideal vehicle for the updating of professional skills and knowledge in the domain. Our picture shows the editors, Jonathan Houdmont and Scott McIntyre, at the book's launch. The event was hosted by the book's publisher, ISMAI Publishing, in the beautiful Portuguese city of Porto on 19 May 2005. The launch included a keynote presenation by Teresa Mendonca-McIntyre and Portuguese folk singing followed by, of course, the drinking of port wine!

(2005), Professional Practice Forum, The Occupational Health Psychologist, 2, 1, 9-10] has generated some debate in the UK regarding the right of course providers to use the title 'occupational health psychology'. The question has emanated from the current wider debate concerning imminent moves towards statutory registration for Chartered Psychologists through the Health Professions Council. Here, Graham Powell, president of the British Psychological Society, seeks to clarify the position.Click here to read Graham Powell's letter. April 2005European Ways to Combat Psychosocial Risks Related to Work Organisation: Towards Organisational Interventions?Peter R.A. Oeij & Evelyne Morvan (Eds)© 2004 TNO Work and Employment / PEROSH ISBN 90-5986-134-5 The PEROSH (Partnership for European Research in Occupational Safety and Health) pillar group on 'psychosocial factors and work organisation' held its second workshop at the EA-OHP Oporto conference in November 2004. The syllabus of papers have been compiled into a report published by TNO Work and Employment, in association with PEROSH. The purpose of the report is to learn from each (participating) country which activities are being undertaken in the field of 'work organisation and psychosocial factors of stress'. The focus is on organisational interventions and measures and their effects in reducing work related stress. Preceding the workshop the members were invited to write a statement-paper on the situation of their home country. This report contains the separate papers that were delivered to the workshop.
