Relationship To Occupational Health Psychology
A separate but related discipline, occupational health psychology (OHP) is a relatively new field that emerged out of the confluence of health psychology, industrial/organizational psychology, and occupational health. The field is concerned with identifying psychosocial characteristics of workplaces that affect the health and well-being of people who work. OHP is also concerned with developing strategies to effect change at workplaces in order to improve the health of people who work. For more detail on OHP, see the entry on occupational health psychology.

From flattery, cards, and dice, and din:
Nor art thou found in mansions higher
Than the low cot, or humble inn.

And ev’ry health which I begin
Converts dull port to bright champagne;
Such Freedom crowns it, at an inn.”
