Abstract
ABSTRACTThis constructivist-grounded-theory qualitative study examined the experiences of burnout among sexual minority identified, male, mental health practitioners. Twenty-one people participated in semi-structured, in-depth interviews. Using multiple standards of trustworthiness (e.g., member checking, investigator triangulation), researchers analyzed each interview from a constructivist-grounded theoretical framework. The core category emerged as synthesis of identities. Additionally, three main themes emerged in support of synthesis of identities: (1) mental health field as a systemic contributor to burnout; (2) gender norms/expectations as a contributor to burnout; and (3) sexual identity oppression as a contributor to burnout. Implications for counselor education and supervision are discussed.
