Abstract
The author advocates developing language awareness as an essential communication skill for preventing or ameliorating occupational burnout. He describes language problems that he terms allness statements, polarization, blindering, bypassing, abstraction problems, frozen evaluation, and fact-interference confusion, and links them to the prevention or remediation of job burnout.
