Preparing Social Work Students to Understand Vicarious Traumatization

Pages 3-20 | Published online: 08 Sep 2008
 

Abstract

This article describes efforts to integrate vicarious trauma (VT) content into a fourth semester required course. Drawing on the literature of burnout, empathy, countertransference and VT, four pedagogical concepts are discussed: knowledge about trauma, personal attitudes and reactions, organizational awareness and spiritual renewal. Self-care is described to ameliorate the emotional and cognitive effects of VT.
