Synopsis

“It takes over 500 pounds of physical force to crush a human skull, yet a mere disapproving glance from another can crush a human soul.” ©WorkachesDo you want to make better sense of the seemingly senseless behaviors that go on at work? Are you tired of feeling like you are just surviving, not thriving, at work? Are you a health and human services professional wanting to take better care of yourself? Do you want a crash course in clinical & organizational psychology, anthropology, and social neuroscience? If so, you are invited to Workaches ...FROM THE BACK COVER: We are often unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with “workaches”—the social combat, interpersonal dilemmas, and other stressors that take place at work. Workaches identifies common psychosocial injuries and their impacts and offers both organizations and individuals strategies to address these issues. In Workaches, readers are taken on an eye-opening journey through the brain, human evolution, psychology, and the latest social neuroscience to explore human nature inside health and human service organizations. You will never view the workgroup in the same light after reading this groundbreaking book. Workaches delivers the authors’ decades of clinical and organizational insights and strategies to thrive, not just survive, in the workplace. This book provides a candid look behind the doors of the contemporary workplace and delivers invaluable wisdom and inspiring neuroscientific news on human resilience and growth to help readers emerge stronger and wiser after adversity.ENDORSEMENTS: “Brilliantly conceived and skillfully composed, this book is a must read for all who aspire to organizational health and wellness. In over 30 years of occupational medicine practice, I have observed many individuals arrive in the workplace with unresolved family issues, and often with profound psychological and somatic injury. Workaches provides a novel template—based on both neuroscience and clinical experience—for understanding these wounds and facilitating healing and wellness. Roger M. Belcourt, MD, MPH Fellow of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine Director of Occupational Health Services for the University of California, Davis“By connecting the incredible strides in what we now know about the functioning of the human brain (neuroscience) with an insightful look at the evolving and highly complex world of work today, Workaches illuminates a way forward for all of us.” Tracy Wareing Evans, JD President and CEO of the American Public Human Services AssociationABOUT THE AUTHORS: Deborah Winograd received her undergraduate degree (BS) in Psychobiology with Departmental Honors from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and her graduate degree (PhD) in Counseling Psychology from the University of Southern California (USC) where she studied existential psychology.
