In this special live recording episode of the Psych Health and Safety podcast from PHSCON 2024, Australian co-hosts Jason van Schie and Joelle Mitchell chat with Professor Christina Maslach about her foundational research on burnout. They talk about the initial inspiration for why Christina chose to focus her research on the topic and how the understanding of burnout has evolved since she first coined the term.
