The role of work in psychological health and well being

There's an interesting post on the blog of the UCD Geary Institute on the role of work in psychological health and well being. The post links to various other articles.

Sigmund Freud once wrote somewhere or other that the role of therapy was to enable the patient to, once again, "love and work." (he wrote elsewhere that psychoanalysis replaces the presenting symptom with more ordinary neurosis)
