Each year thousands of people enter one of the helping professions.
The work they do affects how we live, how we feel, even who we
become. Yet an increasingly critical public believes that many of
these professionals lack idealism and commitment. This work
explores the source of this problem. Based on an in-depth,
longitudinal study, it follows a group of social workers, teachers,
psychologists, nurses and lawyers over a period of 12 years,
beginning with their first year of practice. These professionals
describe in their own words what happened to them when their
idealism collided with the realities of their work. The process of
burnout is described as well as the factors that allow
professionals to recover from it. The text charts the changes that
occurred in the professionals' attitudes and values, and the
resulting positive and negative effects. It also suggests practical
policy changes to enhance professional caring in the human
services.
