 Book |
|
|
|
Edited by Charles
R. Figley, a renowned pioneer in the field of traumatic
stress studies, this book consists of eleven chapters, each
written by a different specialist in the field. It addresses
such questions as: What are compassion stress and compassion
fatigue? What are the unintended, and often unexpected,
deleterious effects of providing help to traumatized people?
What are some examples of cases in which individuals were
traumatized by helping, and how were they traumatized? What
are the characteristics of the traumatized caregiver (e.g.,
race, gender, ethnicity, age, interpersonal competence,
experience with psychological trauma) that account for the
development, sustenance, preventability, and treatability of
secondary traumatization? Is there a way to theoretically
account for all these factors? What are the characteristics
of effective programs to prevent or ameliorate compassion
stress and its unwanted consequences? |
