Summary
Burnout -- the sudden, depressed loss of interest in and capacity for work -- is a particular problem in the social services. Cherniss seeks the causes of burnout in the individual, in his work, and in society as a whole, examining its dynamics and effects and suggesting preventative measures.
′This is a well-planned book on a fascinating subject which is dealt with succinctly in clear language, encouraging one to read it at one sitting.′ -- Health Visitor, February 1982, Vol 55
′Cherniss provides a comprehensive, basic test of the burnout syndrome that is relevant to social work and makes excellent use of related research.′ -- Social Work in Education, July 1983, Vol 5
