La psicoterapia como una alternativa para el Síndrome de Burnout

Abstract

Introduction: The Burnout syndrome has become a topic of interest in Psychotherapy, due to the physical, cognitive, behavioral and emotional repercussions that it implies for the person who faces it, and because of the impact it generates on their social and family environment. Therefore, the objective of this research is to know the psychotherapeutic strategies that are most effective in treating Burnout syndrome Materials and methods: The article presents a qualitative approach, which is based on the bibliographic review. This is complemented with semistructured interviews carried out (through the Zoom platform) with three psychotherapists who have experience in cases of Burnout Syndrome and a professional participant from the organizational field. In addition, it takes place in the context of the health emergency, as a result of the covid-19 pandemic. Results: The results obtained allow to broaden the frame of reference of the Burnout syndrome, from the perspective of Psychotherapy. With this, new categories are evidenced (which have not been previously considered in other studies) and which have a marked relevance in prevalence and reinforcement. Conclusions: The most notorious conclusions are: the relevance of the type of therapeutic approach, the emergence of a new category: social desirability, the therapeutic relationship and the support networks that intervene to avoid the Burnout Syndrome.
