- 2005, Thomas Hyphantis, Venetsanos Mavreas, “‘Burning In’ – ‘Burning Out’ in Public: Aspects of the Burnout Process in Community-Based Psychiatric Services”, in Alexander-Stamatios G. Antoniou, Cary L. Cooper, editors, Research Companion to Organizational Health Psychology, page 538:
- A huge personal investment results in a huge ‘burn-in’. This is probably the first state that needs to be dealt with, before switching to ‘burn-out’. Indeed discussion about the important interaction between the two could lead to the avoidance of ‘burn-out’ through understanding ‘burn-in’. Interestingly, a large body of literature has shown that professionals in the mental heath services seem to be more vulnerable to the ‘burn-in’—‘burn-out’ process.
