Abstract:

"In an increasingly aging society, medicine, hygiene and nutrition have reduced the impact of acute and life-threatening illnesses. However, whilst we are living longer, the chance of developing or contracting a chronic illness is increasing." "There are a growing number of working adults affected by chronic health conditions that may be largely invisible to those around them. In this book, the author explores the 'silent' problem of unseen illness at work." "This innovative work contains bold accounts of pain, cruelty and injustice, but is also vivifies the strength and endurance of the human spirit. Scholars, students and practitioners in studies of organisations, health studies or qualitative research will find this work both powerful and valuable."--BOOK JACKET.
