LIVING THROUGH JOB LOSS: Coping with the Emotional Effects of Job Loss and Rebuilding Your Future by Stearns, Ann Kaiser. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780684810454.

Job loss is an all too common occurrence in todays society, yet sound, practical advice on how to deal with the devastation - emotional as well as financial - is hard to come by. Now, Ann Kaiser Stearns, author of the bestselling Living Through Personal Crisis (which Ann Landers called "the best all-purpose self-help book I have seen in years"), uses her expertise to provide compassionate support and guidance for anyone struggling with the difficulties of unemployment or unhappy re-employment. Moving step by step through the process of recovery, and taking into consideration the impact of job loss on all aspects of life, Dr. Stearns discusses surviving fears, doubts, and diminished self-esteem; coping with depression, stress, and other health issues; resolving conflicts with spouses and children as they react to changing finances, roles, and responsibilities; and facing job search or new employment with confidence. Filled with interviews and case histories of men and women - both white and blue collar - who survived unemployment, Living Through Job Loss is the essential handbook for millions of Americans who have been displaced by mergers, downsizing, and other workplace changes.
