I am responding to Eileen's message. You are correct. There is a large body of research on work stress done by Dr. Robert Karasek and his colleagues showing that jobs with high pyschological demands and low control place workers at higher risk for heart disease. If you want a lay person's description of the research, contact Dr. Paul Landsbergis at the Dept. of Commuity Medicine, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, Box 1043, Room 110 D, New York, NY 10028. He is one of Karasek's collaborators. Some very good background material and workshop activities on stress reduction was produced in the early '90s by Marcia Calicchia, at Cornell University, School of Industrial Labor Relations, in Albany, NY. The material still holds up. Try her at Cornell Univ., NYSSILR, 90 State Street, Suite 600, Albany, NY 12207.
