“…Although there are many more achievements of innovative OCP, there is a growing synergy between occupational health physicians and occupational clinical psychologists. Many occupational medical officers are now working in mental health in the workplace, as stress-related absenteeism figures rise throughout the developed world (Cartwright & Cooper, 2011). In the United Kingdom alone, it cost the U.K. economy £25.9m per annum (Cooper, Field, et al, 2009).…”

Clinical psychology is the branch of psychology that specializes in the research, assessment, diagnosis, evaluation, prevention, and treatment of emotional and behavioral disorders. By extension, occupational clinical psychology (OCP) may be understood as the emergent specialty in psychology concerned with emotional and behavioral disorders in occupational settings and organizations. "Occupational clinical psychology" is a term coined by James S. J. Manuso in 1975; Manuso (1983) then elaborated on this term in his edited volume Occupational Clinical Psychology. He gave primary credit for the early development of the field to Harry Levinson (1983), who wrote the first chapter in the 1983 book entitled Clinical Psychology in Organizational Practice. There is now extensive application of clinical psychology to occupational settings and organizational practice.

Disability management is now recognised as an effective means of managing the increasing global costs of injury and disability. However, research on disability management particularly employee perceptions of its value, are sparse. This paper reports on the Australian findings of a large international project that included Canada, China, Switzerland and Australia, which examined employee perspectives of disability management related to job satisfaction, physical and mental health, workplace morale and reduced sickness absence. Data was collected from 365 employees in 10 large private and public companies using an online survey tool that focused on three components of a disability management program — disability prevention (DP), stay at work (SAW) and return to work (RTW) programs — in relation to the dependent variables of job satisfaction, physical and mental health, workplace morale, sickness absence. Multivariate regression was used to predict disability management's influence on the dependent variables. Results demonstrated positive perceptions regarding the perceived benefits of disability management to both individual employees and their perceptions of coworkers. It was apparent that each component of a disability management program (DP, SAW, and RTW) is positively related to job satisfaction, physical and mental health, workplace morale and reduced sickness absence Disability management programs were perceived as more beneficial in private, as opposed to public, workplaces; however, no differences were evident according to union status or gender of the respondent. It is possible disability management may impact on organisational productivity via variables associated with workplace culture, as well as through the direct benefits flowing from preventing and managing injury. Given the significant costs associated with absenteeism, an outcome of interest to many employers was the finding that employees perceived SAW programs as the most beneficial in terms of reducing absenteeism for both themselves and their coworkers.

The purpose of this study was to see whether differences emerge between older whites, older blacks, and older Mexican Americans in 12 measures of prayer. These measures assess four dimensions of prayer: The social context of prayer, interpersonal aspects of prayer, beliefs about how prayer operates, and the content or focus of prayers. Data from two nationwide surveys of older adults suggest that with respect to all four dimensions, the prayer lives of older whites appear be less developed than the prayer lives of older blacks and older Mexican Americans. In contrast, relatively few differences were found in the prayer lives of older African Americans and older Mexican Americans. The theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
