Numerous case examples illustrate the main areas of the taxonomy and the psychotherapeutic techniques most promising for successful intervention. Several broad areas of work dysfunction are examined, including overcommitment and burn-out, undercommitment and fear of success and failure, work-related anxiety and depression, and personality disorders in the workplace. The book also offers guidance for the unique problems faced by artists, writers and others in the creative professions. This guide is designed to educate therapists to emerging themes in a critical new area of intervention.
