摘要：AbstractLiterature has often discussed the relationship between teaching as profession and a high level of stress. Personal work style, maintaining discipline in the classroom, the need to adapt to changes in educational system, inadequate working conditions are only few determinants identified. Our study aims are to specify the relationship between defense/coping mechanisms in different conditions of stress developed by special education teachers and the burnout phenomenon. Scales for identifying the satisfaction at work, the level of stress, the defense mechanisms and the Maslach Burnout Inventory were used. We applied the mentioned instruments for a group of 120 teachers active within special education system.
