“Occupational Health Psychology (OHP)”
The course that professor Hammer has proposed to teach at the University of Valencia is on Occupational Health Psychology (OHP). This is a course that she regularly teaches to the graduate students in her OHP program. This course emphasizes the application of professional psychological principles of practice, theory, and research to work settings. OHP is a rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field that focuses on science and practice drawn from psychology and other disciplines in the promotion and development of workplace health- and safety-related initiatives. Occupational Health Psychology researchers and practitioners draw from the domains of public health, preventive medicine, nursing, industrial engineering, law, epidemiology, and psychology to develop sound theory and practice for protecting and promoting the safety, health, and well being of individuals in occupational settings. This will be a survey course in Occupational Health Psychology with the intention to provide participants with an orientation to the field of Occupational Health Psychology. Students will develop a clear understanding of the concepts and interventions that are used in the area of OHP and will develop an understanding of the content domain of the field. Knowledge about the application of OHP concepts in an organizational setting will be an ultimate objective.
Date of Seminar: 12-24 July
Place: Faculty of Psychology (University of Valencia, Spain).
