Stress Burnout

In this comprehensive bibliography con-cerning stress burnout, Riggar examines and annotates the best publications deal-ing with the stress burnout syndrome among professionals whose career is helping other people. Stress burnout is pervasive. The qual-ity of work life for helping professionals has reached a state where many who intend to help others are not only hurt-ing their clients and patients but are also harming themselves. This book-divided into three categories of signs/symptoms, causes/sources, and coping strategies-serves to help these caring individuals recognize the symptoms, un-derstand what the syndrome is and why they or their colleagues have fallen prey to it, and gain practical strategies for cop-ing with the problem. Thus the thor-oughness of the annotations often pre-cludes the need for further research.
