I, II, and III are symptoms indicating burnout for James: lack of supportive professional relationships, difficulties in personal relationships, and the challenge of clients not following through with treatment. Working with clients with chemical dependencies and working in an acute care facility are not symptoms of burnout, but rather aspects of his job environment.
