Summary "Occupational stress in particularly acute in 'caring' occupations, such as teaching, and the numbers leaving teaching have increased dramatically. This book traces the sources of stress in teaching including the effects of national policy, changes in work and school organisation, and personal factors." "The authors explore teachers' perceptions of the causes of their stress, the experience and effects of stress, and the process of recovery and self-renewal. The book is based on interviews with primary school teachers clinically diagnosed as suffering from stress-related illness. These interviews are complemented by an organisational study of two primary schools, one a 'low' stress school, the other a 'high' stress school." "The findings inform policy recommendations aimed at preventing at source occupational stress in teaching and other 'caring' professions, as well as offering advice to individuals suffering from stress."--BOOK JACKET
