Abstract
Burn out syndrome arises from an addiction to work and implies a total devotion and dedication of the time to a labor goal, generating negative consequences for the worker as well as for the organization in he/she carries out their activity. From a psycho-organizational theoretical frame, the objective of this paper is to display an interpretation of the film Black Swan, by Darren Aronofsky, taking the concept of burn out as an analysis axis. As a methodological proposal, the different phases in the evolution of burn out are presented and analyzed in relation to scenes of the film. Considering the relevance of burn out in contemporary societies, the aim is to rise awareness in the professional psychology community un general, and labor psychology in particular, regarding the promotion of the psycho-social well-being of subjects that develop activities in organizations that pursue excellence.
Keywords: Burn out – psychology – workplace
