Usure dans l'institution by Daniel Brandeho examines the phenomenon of professional wear and psychological erosion within institutional settings, particularly in public health and social services. Drawing on clinical observations and organizational theory, the book explores how systemic pressures, emotional labor, and structural constraints contribute to burnout among professionals. It offers a comprehensive analysis of psychosocial risks and emphasizes the necessity of preventive strategies at both individual and organizational levels. Originally published in 2000 and updated in a third edition in 2017, this work remains a foundational text for understanding occupational strain in care-oriented institutions.
