520 |a The article surveys some of the recent literature on burnout and identifies the burnout syndrome as a critical issue for our times. What is burnout? Are there identifiable causes and characteristics of the phenomenon? Why does it seem to affect committed people in the helping professions? Five critical aspects of the problem are explored, namely, the difficulty of diagnosis, the relation between the existential situation and the person, the sheer weight of change, the increasing demands of ministry, and the narrow perception of leisure. Some approaches to the problem are presented. These are prevention, self-assessment, a new approach to change, re-evaluation of ministry, and creative leisure. The creative development of leisure is seen as the most inclusive and effective approach to this malady of dedicated people. In fact, leisure attitudes are essential for the growth of integrated, balanced, fully human, fully religious persons. The author suggests that the development of a spirituality of leisure may be the qualitative step needed to eradicate burnout and restore health and wholeness to committed persons.
