Abstract
Understanding how to overcome stress on the job is important, but there is also another area of our lives in which stress often plays a crucial role. Indeed, for many the tensions and stresses produced within the family can be just as strong as, if not stronger than, those produced at work. In fact, family problems often spill over into the workplace, creating stressful situations that neither job pacing nor creation of a more positive atmosphere at work can overcome.
