O burnout se tornou um tema amplamente investigado no âmbito da psicologia organizacional. Sua definição e escopo são objeto de um debate científico e político internacional. Enquanto um dos fundadores do conceito, Herbert J. Freudenberger desempenhou um papel importante na formação da pesquisa sobre o burnout. Este artigo segue os diferentes sentidos e transformações do conceito de burnout ao longo de sua carreira, baseado em uma leitura minuciosa de suas obras. A metodologia é inspirada na história de objetos psicológicos de Danziger e por estudos que mostram a importância de metáforas no raciocínio científico. Os resultados mostram a importância do movimento Free Clinic e da psicanálise na descrição original de Freudenberger. Duas metáforas são identificadas e analisadas como o cerne do burnout: o burnout como uma síndrome e o homem como um sistema de energia. A conclusão argumenta que um melhor conhecimento sobre o passado do burnout pode ser a chave para modificar seu desenvolvimento futuro.
