3/$15 Women's burnout dr. Freudenberger and Gail North Self Help Book

Synopsis: Demonstrates how women are particularly susceptible to burnout because of the extent of the demands placed upon them and provides authoritative advice on reversing and preventing burnout From Library Journal: Addressed expressly to women who manifest symptoms of burnout yet are unable to recognize them as such, this new book by psychoanalyst/burnout expert Freudenberger ( Burnout , LJ 11/15/80) aims at assisting women in identifying the enemy before chronic problems and/or misdiagnosis occur. Using information gathered from his private practice as well as personal interviews, Freudenberger places most cases in a 12-stage Burnout Cycle, which traces the problem from its origins (a compulsion to prove oneself in various ways) through its ultimate phase (total burnout exhaustion). He also offers help towards recovery through an increase in self-awareness and self-esteem. An important addition to the genre, recommended for most general collections. Robert L. Jaquay, William K.
