Are your patients burning out?
Year: 1982
Type: article
Abstract: The term burnout came into the literature in the 1970s. Since then it has become a popularized and misunderstood concept. In this article burnout is seen to be an interaction between idealistically high personal expectations and a willingness to sacrifice personal needs to the workplace, with unrealistic expectations within the work environment. Physical, psychological and occupational symptoms accompany this syndrome, which must be differentiated from clinical depression. Suggestions for treatment include changes at both the personal and organizational level.
