The Crisis of Competence. Transitional Stress and the Displaced Worker.

by Carl A. Maida, Norma S. Gordon, Norman L. Farberow

First published in 1990. As the fifteenth volume of the Brunner/Mazel Psychosocial Stress Series, this book focuses on a psychosocial stressor that affects thousands of people every year. The authors argue that the displaced worker is denied the dignity bestowed by employment, in addition to a source of income, security, and insurance benefits. This volume forms a new orientation for thinking about human behavior under extraordinary conditions.
