Provides a comprehensive framework for understanding mental health in the workplace

Job Stress Revisited: A Thought Provoking Take on Mental Health and Work offers a critical and much-needed re-evaluation of how job stress is understood, addressed, and managed in modern workplaces. In contrast to popular narratives that individualize stress and recommend surface-level interventions, this resource challenges these assumptions by locating job stress within the very structure and nature of work itself. Drawing on more than a decade of clinical and academic experience, the author underscores how workplace environments and policies--not personal shortcomings--are often the true sources of stress-related mental health issues.

Empowering readers to become informed advocates for lasting change, the book offers a multi-dimensional exploration of job stress, informed by biological, epidemiological, and activity-centered approaches. A structured three-part format builds from foundational concepts to actionable solutions, first clearly defining essential concepts--work, health, and their intersections--before delving into critical issues such as burnout, harassment, toxic workplace dynamics, and substance use. In the final section, Durand-Moreau calls for systemic change, advocating for robust policies, workplace inspections, and structural reform rather than temporary fixes.

A practical guide for those who seek to make work environments healthier and more equitable, Job Stress Revisited: A Thought Provoking Take on Mental Health and Work:

  • Challenges prevailing wellness narratives by shifting focus from individuals to systemic workplace factors
  • Integrates clinical insights from over 400 work-related mental health cases
  • Offers a comparative international perspective, especially from Canadian and French occupational health systems
  • Combines theoretical analysis with practical case studies to enhance accessibility
  • Explores lesser-addressed topics such as doping at work

With vivid case studies and accessible illustrations throughout, Job Stress Revisited: A Thought Provoking Take on Mental Health and Work is essential reading for graduate and professional-level courses such as Occupational Health, Work Psychology, Organizational Behavior, and Public Health Policy. It is ideal for degree programs in Occupational Medicine, Human Resources, Public Health, and Industrial-Organizational Psychology as well as working professionals like union reps, HR, and any worker interested in this topic.
