- Summary:
- Burnout is a common metaphor for a state of extreme psychophysical exhaustion, usually work-related. This book provides a definitive overview of the burnout syndrome from its earliest recorded occurrences to current empirical studies. It reviews perceptions that burnout is particularly prevalent among certain professional groups (e.g. police officers, social workers, teachers, financial traders) and introduces individual inter-personal, workload, occupational, organizational, social, and cultural factors. Occurrence, measurement, and assessment, as well as intervention and treatment programs are addressed in this unique book.
