title: Occupational stress.
abstract: This paper briefly reviews some current trends in thinking about occupational stress. The most interesting recent work relates to: (1) quantification of the contribution 'stress' makes to (psychosomatic) illness; and (2) the trend to view work stress as a particular case of man trying to maintain harmony between various environmental demands and his ability to cope.
