Identifies the occupational and personal characteristics and stressors that might be correlated with burnout among inpatient therapists (N=79) in substance abuse treatment facilities. Results show that recovering therapists had a higher sense of personal accomplishment than nonrecovering therapists. Therapists with more social support also enjoyed a greater sense of personal accomplishment. (RJM)
