Jobs and work do much more than most of us realize to provide happiness and contentment.We are all used to thinking that work provides the material things of life — the goods and services that make possible our modern civilization.But we are much less conscious of the extent to which work provides the more intangible,but more crucial,psychological well-being that make the difference between a full and an empty life.
Historically,work has been associated with slavery and sin and punishment.And in our own day we are used to hearing the traditional complaints:“I can’t wait for my vocation,” “I wish I could stay home today,” “My boss treats me poorly,” “I’ve got too much work to do and not enough time to do it.” Against this background,it may well come as a surprise to learn that not only psychologists but other behavioral scientists have come to accept the positive contribution of work to the individual’s happiness and sense of personal achievement.Work is more than a necessity for most human beings; it is the focus of their lives,the source of their identity and creativity.
Rather than a punishment or a burden,work is the opportunity to realize one’s potential.Many psychiatrists heading mental health clinics have observed its healing effect.A good many patients who feel depressed in clinics gain renewed self-confidence when gainfully employed and lose some,if not all,of their most acute symptoms.Increasingly,institutions dealing with mental health problems are establishing workshops wherein those too sick to get a job in “outside” industry can work,while every effort is exerted to arrange “real” jobs for those well enough to work outside.

工作和职业能够给我们带来比我们想象中更多的快乐和满足.我们曾经都认为工作只能满足我们生活的需要——那些能实现我们现代文明的商品和服务.但是我们没有完全意识到工作带给我们的更多无形却更重要的心理安宁,而那决定了我们生活是否满足或空虚.
从历史上来看,工作总是与奴隶制度、罪过和惩罚连在一起.甚至在现在,我们也经常听到类似这种的传统性的抱怨：“我真的好想放假.”“我今天真想就呆在家里.”“我们老板对我态度不好.”“我要做的工作太多,肯本没时间来做.”相对于这样的背景来说,得出这样的结论很令人惊讶：心理学家和一些行为学家都肯定了工作对于人们感受到幸福和个人成就感的积极贡献.对于大多数人来说,工作不过是必需的,但那只关注了他们的生活,他们的人格和创造力的来源.
相对于惩罚和束缚,工作更是一个认识自己潜能的机会.很多致力于临床心理健康研究的心理学家已经注意到了工作对于心理疾病的治愈能力.许多临床表现抑郁的患者在有收入地被雇佣时会重建自信,并缓解或消除他们的严重症状.逐渐地,心理健康疾病机构开始建立专门的工作站,来解决那些病情严重以至于无法在外工作的人.（可能指那些只能在机构内部通过假装被雇佣以治疗疾病,而无法被机构外普通企业雇佣的患者.）同时他们运用了各种努力来安排那些治愈的患正重新回到社会工作.
