The teacher has been suffering from stressors that directly affect the quality of his work. Factors such as: low wages, excessive number of students in the class, the relationship with students and the lack of professional appreciation, are some aspects that stimulate mental illness and, in many cases, Burnout. These episodes become more frequent and aggravated in public educational institutions, in relation to private establishments. The importance of Sociology is highlighted, regarding mental illness nowadays, mainly teachers, the class most affected in this context, in view of the constant interaction of this professional with society. Given this situation, this study aims to carry out a Bibliographic Review of the Literature on the "Burnout Syndrome in Contexts of Work Stress in Teachers Under the Focus of Legal Sociology".
