From the reviews: "Faculty Health in Academic Medicine: Physicians, Scientists, and the Pressures of Success begins by documenting startling levels of burnout in academic medical centers. ... psychologists figure prominently in this volume should make it interesting for other psychologists in academic medical centers. ... it also suggests the prominent role that psychology can play in helping to improve the quality of care, and the quality of life, for both patients and faculty in America's academic medical centers." (Scott Temple, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 54 (33), August, 2009) "Provides useful and instructive clarification of the often bewildering array of variables and factors that impinges on the wellness of faculty. ... Readers will find a variety of stimulating ideas about interventions that can be combined and integrated into more comprehensive well programs. ...Faculty Health in Academic Medicine provides a useful foundation for a new field of study into faculty wellness." (Larry D. Gruppen, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 302 (12), September, 2009)
