The utility of a theory of generative death anxiety as a framework for interpreting the nature of these special stresses is suggested. Three common ‘burnout' reactions are examined. The paper concludes that positive acceptance of personal mortality may help clinicians avoid burnout and lead to better therapeutic practice. This framework for interpreting therapeutic practice demonstrates the integral role spirituality plays in work with this particular patient group.
