Herbert Freudenberger
Psychologist
Herbert J. Freudenberger (1926–1999) was a German-born American psychologist. Though Freudenberger had many jobs during his life, including practitioner, editor, theoretician, and author, his most significant contribution is in the understanding and treatment of stress, chronic fatigue and substance abuse.[1]
Freudenberger was one of the first to describe the symptoms of exhaustion professionally and perform a comprehensive study of "burnout".
In 1980, he published a book[2] dealing with chronic fatigue, which became a standard reference for the phenomenon. Freudenberger was awarded the American Psychological Foundation Gold Medal Award for Life Achievement in the Practice of Psychology in 1999.[3]
