Obiettivo principale del presente studio è identificare le variabili connesse alla sindrome di burnout nel professionista della salute mentale, nello specifico dello psicoterapeuta attraverso una revisione sistematica, condotta secondo le linee guida PRISMA (Page et al., 2021), con un arco temporale che va dal 2012 a gennaio 2023. La selezione finale ha portato all’inclusione di 20 articoli trovati sui database Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, SocINDEX con Full Text, Education research Complete, APA PsycArticles (EBSCO); PubMed e Scopus. Le variabili “empatia” e “risonanza corporea” sono risultate fondamentali per stabilire una mi-gliore qualità della relazione terapeutica, risultato in linea con i dati già ottenuti dalla ricerca sulla psicoterapia della Gestalt (Spagnuolo Lobb et al., 2022a). Un obiettivo comune per i cli-nici potrebbe essere quello di potenziare le attività di co-visione e supervisione clinica, soste-nendo la risonanza estetica e di campo (Spagnuolo Lobb et al., 2022b).;
