Cambridge University Press The Burned Out Physician
Book SynopsisBurnout is a major psychological and physical health-related problem for workers in all fields, but especially for those in the fast-paced and rapidly changing world of healthcare. Burnout has severe consequences for patients, including medical error, and is a leading contributing cause of depression and suicide among healthcare workers. Organizational science is just beginning to be applied in earnest to physician burnout and patient safety, and holds several potential keys to addressing these concerns. The Burned Out Physician is for two groups: healthcare workers (especially physicians) and patients. Physicians will use this book to get an accurate picture of what they are experiencing and how to change it, and patients will use this book to see what their healthcare providers are experiencing and learn how to help and/or protect themselves. The volume includes a checklist of burnout symptoms, and crucially a list of solutions as part of an active effort to solve the burnout crisis.Table of ContentsPreface; 1. The psychology of burnout; 2. The burned out physician; 3. Medical error: types; 4. Medical error: sources; 5. Addressing the crisis: how-to strategies starting with the individual; 6.

It is everything a 'how to' book needs to be, stuffed with plain common sense and sprinkled with useful tips.' The BiologistReview of previous edition: '… strongly recommended for all geoscientists. There are three possible ways to use it. The first is to read it as a normal book from the first page to the last … The second way is to use it as a reference … The third way is … as a textbook … Despite of what way to choose, you will find this book always very suitable. Reading of any passage is enjoyable and stimulating. The book … is a great success …' Zentralblatt for Geologie und PalaeontologieReview of previous edition: 'This book is beyond reproach and should be regarded as compulsory reading for all biomedical and science undergraduate and postgraduate students and all others likely to have to write or edit scientific reports.'

As a teacher of scientific writing I have used the previous editions of this book for years, and look forward to using the fourth edition as well.'
