title: A reversal theory approach to the causes and treatment of stress in professional life.
abstract: An interactive model, which takes into account both situation and individual, is likely to be most useful in understanding the occurrence of stress in professional life. Reversal theory, when applied in the way detailed in the present paper, yields just such a model. It also, in the way discussed, provides a number of practical strategies for helping professionals identify and develop ways of coping with stress, particularly when employed within the context of the stress management workshop.
