  There are many books offering advice and guidance for redundant executives (the majority of whom are male), but until now the needs of their wives or partners have been largely ignored. This book aims to fill that gap. For those women whose husbands or partners are suddenly faced with unemployment through redundancy or early retirement, this succinct and helpful guide will give them an insight into the problems they are likely to encounter and how to deal with them. It is based on a research project launched by Coutts Careers Consultants to find out how the wives of men, whose fast track careers had been temporariliy derailed, coped with the setback. By describing the reactions of these wives, the book explores ways of tackling some of the more negative feelings and offers guidance on how to deal with this once-in-a-lifetime challenge in a positive and constructive way. Major topics focused on are: relationships, health, money, job-seeking and self-employment.
