During the mid-1990s, 1 in 16 workers were displaced by downsizing, reorganization, or corporate mergers and acquisitions. Ruth Luban, a counselor who specializes in recovery from job loss, recognizes that leaving the workforce causes not only a loss of income, but also of identity, structure, and community. Her step-by-step program addresses these problems and explains how to work through them. Using case studies, exercises, and informative sidebars, she identifies the five emotional stages of job loss: β’ On the Brink β’ Letting Go β’ In the Wilderness β’ Seeing the Beacon β’ In the New Land Luban shows how to move through the emotional upheaval of job loss and return to the workforce with a sense of control and direction.
