| Sumario: | The impact of mental health professionals' attachment styles on their own psychosocial vulnerability has not been extensively explored in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this research is to analyze possible connections between three adult attachment styles (secure, anxious, and avoidant) and empathy burnout syndrome (EBS), which is understood as a psychosocial risk among mental health professionals. Data were collected using validated scales from a sample of 324 psychologists and psychiatrists from Santa Fe. Correlational analyses indicate significant links between EBS, secure attachment and anxious attachment. Multiple linear regression analyses show that both explain 16% and 11% respectively of the variance in empathy burnout. Findings point out secure attachment as a protective factor against empathy burnout and highlight the psychosocial risk associated with anxious attachment in psychologists and psychiatrists. |
