ABSTRACT
This article describes the way of coping with burnout among family physicians and family social workers. Emphasis is given to the question: What do both professionals have in common when it comes to burnout? Most human-service professions have traditionally been client or patient centered, with little attention given in the literature or in training to the many stresses experienced by the professional. Clearly, learning to cope with stress is an important skill for these professionals. It is important not only for the individual's well-being and patient care, but also for curriculum development and implementation of prevention and treatment programs.
