Becoming a dental and psychotherapy professional implies multiple demands, challenges and responsibilities that might affect directly or indirectly students’ quality of life and training efficiency. Therefore, we aimed to study professional stress among Romanian dental and psychotherapy students, by introducing into equation the content areas of irrational beliefs, along with symptoms of depression, anxiety and general stress. The variables were measured with DES (Garbee et al., 1980), DASS-21 (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) and GABS-SF (Lindner et al., 1999). Overall, professional stressors were associated with depression, anxiety, general stress and irrational beliefs and there were also noticed some between-group differences.
