Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between teachers' irrational beliefs and different measures of teacher distress. To this end, 71 secondary education teachers responded to the Teacher Irrational Beliefs Scale (TIBS). The relationship between TIBS scores and scores on the Teacher Burnout Questionnaire-Revised (CBP-R), Symptoms Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was analyzed.Results show a high level of burnout and a significant positive correlation between teachers' irrational beliefs and all teacher distress variables considered in this research.In particular, attitudes of low tolerance to frustration have a significant influence on the levels of stress, depression and physical symptoms.Key words: Teacher distress,
