There are severe disadvantages to the authoritarian-moral approach Page 19 to professional distress.

The problem is seen as emerging from the personality of the worker (diagnosis of psychopathology). The worker becomes a problem (identified patient) about which something must be done. The supervisor confronts the worker on his or her current level of functioning and recommends that the worker seek help outside the agency, or turns the supervisory relationship into a counseling relationship (psychological therapy). If the worker's behavior does not change, he or she is fired or manipulated out of the organization (the equivalent of institutionalizing the adolescent).
