ABSTRACT
This book has attempted to show where burnout comes from, conceptually, practically and empirically. It has also shown how research findings are moving towards a unity that provides an increasingly solid base for the development of coherent models of intervention. However, there is still much that needs to be understood. The next phase of empiricism in burnout must test models of intervention. In doing so, intervention research in burnout needs to reflect the wider contexts of HIV/AIDS health care if it is to legitimise them, and the stresses to which they give rise.
