Mobbing And Victimization At Work: A Special Issue Of The European Journal Of Work And Organizational Psychology
Dieter Zapf Manufacturer: Psychology Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0863779468 |
Book Description
Mobbing bullying or harassment, a severe form of social stressor at work, has become a topic of widespread public interest in several European countries. Mobbing includes minor social conflicts such as socially isolating a person, rumours, or giving somebody a bad name, but also major conflicts like giving somebody no work, or work below or above his or her qualification, threats to kick somebody out of the firm, or threats of physical violence. Although mobbing is a very old phenomenon, it has not been described and systematically investigated until the early 1980s when Heinz Leymann started the first research projects in Sweden.; This special issue brings together scientists and practitioners from various European countries who have done research and possess practical experience in this area. The book begins with an article that introduces the theoretical concept of mobbing. Several articles follow which report empirical findings on mobbing in Austria, Finland, Germany, Norway and Sweden. These articles deal with questions such as: How oftenn does mobbing occur? Can anybody be affected? Who are the mobbers? Are there organizational causes of mobbing? The articles emphasize the severe health consequences which can be observed in nearly every mobbing victim. One article reports two case studies and describes the medical treatment of mobbing victims. Finally, prevention and intervention measures are summarized which were already successfully used in practice.

Doc: Heroic Stories of Medics,Corpsmen,and Surgeons in Combat
Mark R. Littleton Manufacturer: Zenith Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0760321191 |
Book Description
The most decorated solder in World War I was not Sergeant Alvin York, as many believe, but a stretcher bearer named Charles Denver Barger. And Barger is just one of the legion of military medical personnel whose lifesaving feats are remembered in this inspiring volume. A tribute to those who tend the sick and wounded under the toughest conditions, Doc is made up of the sometimes humorous, often harrowing, and always heartfelt memoirs of quick-thinking medics and heroic nurses, of surgeons and physicians equipped with only the tools of mercy, performing acts of great courage. Here too are the stories of those whose lives were saved as the indefatigable "Doc" braved battle and the elements on Omaha Beach and in Da Nang, on Okinawa and in Korea to treat a shrapnel wound or a napalm burn orin one remarkable casegive lifesaving instructions to the wounded despite his own fatal injury. Recounted by privates and generals from World War I to Iraq, these stories all have one thing in common: they inspire with the raw truth of men and women working under the greatest stress imaginable to bring their comrades safely home.Customer Reviews:

Praise the Lord and Pass the Penicillin: Memoir of a Combat Medic in the Pacific in World War II
Dean W. Andersen Manufacturer: McFarland & Company ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 078641670X |
Book Description
He was a chemistry student in college on his way home for a visit when news of Pearl Harbor came over the car radio. Like 16 million others from his generation, Dean W. Andersen was called to active military duty and spent the next 38 months of his life as a medic in the Pacific war theater. This memoir shows that the human feelings of fear, loss, anger, hate, patriotism and solidarity were the same then as they have been for every war since. The experiences of the "greatest generation" can comfort and advise young people today who may well be faced with challenges as great as those met so long ago.Based on 93 letters written home to his wife and parents during his time away at war, this book includes information that was disallowed by censors and in some cases, cut out of his correspondence. Though the history of the European theater in World War II is well documented, considerably less information is available about the war in the Pacific. The author recalls the many aspects of his experiencefrom landing on beaches in the South Pacific amid exotic birds and animals and interacting with the people of New Guinea, to evacuating wounded soldiers through steaming jungles and snake-infested swamps and over high mountains, to facing machine gun fire and watching snipers kill the last man in a column of marchers. The book includes many interesting photographs that have never been published, including images of the Japanese surrender.

Combat Medic
Isadore Valenti Manufacturer: Word Association Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1891231677 |
Book Description
Isadore Valenti would return home from WWII to the coal mines of Western Pennsylvania. He would go back to high school, graduate from college, marry and have children, but he would always hear the cries of "Medic!" echoing over the years from the bloody North African, Italian, French and German battle fields.Combat Medic is the story Valenti had to tell of young medics who placed their bodies between the wounded and enemy fire. Valenti's memoir takes the reader through the North African and European theaters of war on a long and harrowing journey that concludes, incredibly, with Valenti sipping Hitler's exquisite wine in the dictator's secret mountain-top hideaway in Berchtesgarden, Austria.
Combat Medic reveals the soul of an immigrant's son who went from blackened coal fields to bloody battle fields and back home again, building a life and finding solace in the telling of his story of war and remembrance. In his book, Valenti shares with the world his astonishing collection of war photographs and his even more astonishing ability to bring to life the true story of the combat medic.

Brainwashing, Drunks & Madness: Memoirs of a Medical Icon
William E. Mayer Manufacturer: Winterwolf Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0975271199 |
Book Description
This is a book about revolutions, told by a medical man at the forefront of those battles, many still in progress, that have affected the lives of millions. Termed a "stormy petrel" of his profession by a great university, he was a major player in revolutionary changes in the treatment of the mentally ill; the medical approach to the disease of alcoholism; the unraveling of the methods used by Communist tyrants to enslave nearly a third of the earth's peoples, including some of our own; and, working within the labyrinth of power that is the Pentagon, assuring that those who serve the nation in battle, if wounded, have better than a 97% chance to survive their wounds: unprecedented in the history of war.This is a book about revolutionary changes in our world in the century just ended, that will continue in the new one ahead. Dr. William Mayer is a citizen-physician-soldier who, often at great professional (and at times, personal) risk, plunged into battles to change centuries-old ideas and practices having to do with insanity and the disease of alcoholism; methods of military training needed to respond to mind-altering tyrannies; and competition with our top war-fighters for the huge resources to assure our soldiers the finest medical care in history. These tales of changes that affect the lives of all in the free world are essential to the understanding of what can be accomplished by a free people, and what our adversaries would destroy.
These revolutions touch the lives of all of us. They must be understood, and they must be remembered. For it is all too often that people forget these revolutions and history...thus are doomed to repeat them. Often with horrible consequences.
