Abstract: The relationship between individuals and their work environment is proving to be a much more complex interaction than one might first think and often hides serious pitfalls for some people. The current study explores the level of burnout and occupational depression among psychologists and psychotherapists as well as the complex relationship between these two concepts. The research methodology involves the use of a representative sample of individuals (N=78) between the ages of 23 and 58, and two measurement instruments, the Occupational Depression Inventory (ODI) and Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT). Following statistical calculations we obtained a moderate positive correlation between the two measured constructs, burnout and occupational depression.
