This book examines employee assistance programs (EAPs) that many companies have established to prevent trouble and treat troubled employees. It describes the elements of successful programs, how to establish a program, and how to assess and improve an ongoing program. A particular strength of the book is an explicit emphasis on the linkages between EAPs and other personnel activities. The book is also well organized, well written, and well documented. It might be appropriate for advanced undergraduate or graduate academic collections in business, but its practical orientation makes it most approriate for collections that primarily serve management practitioners.-Choice
