“…What speaks in favour of a lower risk of critical social workers suffering a burnout is that they reflect more on the structural causes of failure in dealing with client situations and thus doubt less their own competence (Mullaly, 2007) and are equipped with a more diverse range of (radical) tools to deal with burnout (Fook, 1993: 95). Conversely, however, it can be argued that practical approaches built on anti-oppressive principles increase the risk of burnout due to increased frustration with diminishing resources to address client needs (Johnson et al, 2018; Mullaly, 2007) and due to marginalized self-position within the employer organization and among colleagues who may perceive critical approaches as boundless, naïve, or unrealistic (Beresford, 2011; Mullaly, 2007).…”
