DWP Occupational & Health Psychology Services

The Journal of Occupational Psychology, Employment and Disability (JOPED) is published twice a year in an electronic format by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

It contains articles written by DWP occupational psychologists as well as professionals working primarily in the field of employment and disability, but also in the wider health, work and well-being domain. All articles are peer-reviewed by occupational psychologists or relevant professionals.

The articles include case studies, research projects and examples of good practice, as well as psychometric test and book reviews. The Standpoint section is specifically designed to promote contemporary discussion within the field. Find out what has been included in previous editions of the Journal.
