By any metric, burnout is a pressing issue in medicine generally
and psychiatry specifically-particularly because of its potential
impacts on patient care. Combating Physician Burnout: A Guide for
Psychiatrists, the first book of its kind to focus on the field of
psychiatry, aims to educate psychiatrists about three key concepts:
stress, burnout, and physician impairment. Edited by recognized
experts on physician burnout, this volume features contributions
from domestic and international authorities in the field, including
academic and community psychiatrists, those involved in residency
and medical student education, and members of the American
Psychiatric Association Work Group on Psychiatrist Well-being and
Burnout. Five sections lay out the scope of the challenge and
outline potential interventions: * The introduction discusses the
history and social context of burnout, providing psychiatrists
struggling through burnout with important perspective.* The second
section, "The Continuum of Stress, Burnout, and Impairment"
explores the potential effects of burnout on clinical care and
examines depression and suicide among physicians.* Environmental
Factors Leading to Burnout" identifies contextual elements that
seem to contribute to burnout, including the electronic health
record and the challenge of balancing professional and personal
demands.* The fourth section of the book discusses a range of
systemic and individual interventions, included among them
organizational screening for burnout, peer review and support, and
mindfulness training and meditation.* The final section, "Ethics
and Burnout," tackles the moral challenge burnout poses to the
profession of psychiatry. Regardless of career stage, readers will
benefit from the unique psychiatric perspective on burnout-and the
practical advice on combating its effects-offered by this guide.
