Burnout and the Mobilization of Energy is a radical new book. Its main objective is to help working individuals or organizations to get out of burnout and keep out of it. Further, it helps them to activate or mobilize energy. If you are, burnt out or on the slippery slope to burnout, this book will transform you. If your organization is, blocked in terms of energy, this book can transform your organization. It is based on research, theory and practice. It clearly describes what burnout is and what it is not. It is not depression, stress, depersonalization or anxiety. It is, however, based on a key symptom: an extreme form of energy depletion. Two concepts explain the core findings: a Gestalt concept called an 'introject', and another that Carl Jung called 'enantiodromia'. These elaborate terms help us identify what burnout is, what causes it and how to get out of it. The book also focuses on mobilization of energy in the organization. Using a psychological framework, it illustrates what happens, when organizations get psychologically mixed up. This leads to a feeling of spinning wheels and crossed wires
