Both the editor and contributors have a vision of truly ameliorative employee assistance programming and this vision is the first published in Canada about EAP programming in the Canadian context. They believe the field offers great potential for helping build healthier communities of workers and families in addition to helping individual workers who may see themselves, or be seen by others, as people with problems. This book contains a great deal of relevant information. It will be useful to both practitioners and those who seek change in the goals and outcomes of EAP. It is an essential addition to libraries of helping professionals and service delivery organizations.
