본 연구에서는 현장에서 놀이치료를 진행하고 있는 놀이치료자 259명을 대상으로 완벽주의와 발달 수준에 따라 군집을 분류한 후, 각 군집 유형에 따라 심리적 소진의 차이를 검증하였다. 수집한 자료는 SPSS 26.0 프로그램을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 연구 변인 간 유의한 상관이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 놀이치료자(초심자, 숙련자)의 완벽주의와 발달 수준에 따라 군집을 분석한 결과 3개의 군집이 분류되었다. 셋째, 놀이치료자(초심자, 숙련자)의 완벽주의와 발달 수준에 따라 분류한 군집들 간에 심리적 소진 전체와 하위요인의 차이를 확인하였다. 본 연구는 완벽주의와 발달 수준에 따라 형성된 군집 별 심리적 소진의 차이는 완벽주의가 높고 발달 수준이 낮은 조합일수록 심리적 소진에 매우 취약하며, 같은 수준의 완벽주의 수준을 가지고 있더라도 발달 수준이 높아짐에 따라서 심리적 소진을 낮게 경험하는 것으로 확인하였다. 이는 완벽주의와 발달 수준의 조합으로 형성된 다차원적인 변인이 심리적 소진에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 이해하는데 의의가 있다.

In this study, 259 play therapists who are currently working in the field of play therapy in the field were classified into groups according to their perfectionism and professional developmental levels. Analysis was then conducted to examine any, the differences in psychological burnout according to each group type, and the data was then verified. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 26.0 program. As a result of the study, first, it was confirmed that there was a significant correlation between the research variables. Second, as a result of analyzing the clusters according to the level of perfectionism and professional development of the play therapists (beginners and experts), three clusters were identified and classified. Third, the differences in total and sub-factors of psychological burnout were confirmed between the groups classified according to the perfectionism and professional developmental level of the play therapists (classified as beginners and experts). In this way, this study found that the difference in psychological burnout by cluster formed according to perfectionism and professional developmental level is that the combination of high perfectionism and low professional developmental level leaves the therapists very vulnerable to psychological burnout, and even with the same level of perfectionism, the level of professional development was higher. Accordingly, it was confirmed that they experienced low levels of psychological burnout. This is meaningful in understanding how multidimensional variables formed by the combination of perfectionism and developmental level can affect psychological burnout.
