COMPREENDENDO A SÍNDROME DE BURNOUT NA TEORIA COGNITIVO COMPORTAMENTAL

Abstract

Burnout Syndrome is a psychological disorder characterized by the individual's lack of energy in their professional sphere caused by their work activities, which causes clinically significant losses in their life. The present study aimed to understand Burnout Syndrome from the perspective of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the contributions of this psychotherapeutic approach in treating this condition and restoring the quality of life and health in the work environment of the suffering individual. A Literature Review was carried out in the Google Scholar and Scielo (Scientific Electronic Libraly Online) databases using the crossed descriptors “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy” and “Burnout Syndrome”, these being fundamental to better understand the topic. Carrying out this study allowed us to understand that the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach, accompanied by changes in healthier habitual practices, are effective for preventing and treating Burnout Syndrome and other mental and physical illnesses.
