Abstract: Obtained demographic data from 239 randomly selected registered music therapists (RMTs) and correlated these data with degrees of occupational stress or burnout as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Degree of burnout was analyzed according to hours worked/week, number of years as an RMT, type of institution, sex, age, and years at present job. Results indicate that no relationship existed between the predictor variables and the MBI subscales. Ss' most prevalent criticisms concerned insufficient pay, lack of respect and support from administrators, and having to perform activities outside their field.
