This text is based on the author's research into primary school teacher's stress. The research has been linked with the author's belief in the need to understand ourselves, our personal and professional situations and how they relate. The resulting book is a practical text designed to address the reader in such a way that they can readily identify with what is being discussed. Futhermore, readers are encouraged to explore ways in which they can begin to tackle their own problems.
Interesting, and did try to cover different perspectives (e.g. new teacher, senior management). Having said that, I'm not very sure what insight I have gained from reading it beyond the feeling that "thank goodness, someone else feels like that too" a book of this kind produces. It does have some concrete suggestions, but a lot of these are of the ilk of "try having reflexology".
