Description

Vicarious Trauma and Disaster Mental Health focuses on the clinician and the impact of working with disaster survivors. This book explores vicarious traumatization in mental health providers who respond to massive disasters by choice or by circumstance. It offers insight and analysis of the research and theory behind vicarious trauma and compares and contrasts with other work-impact concepts such as burnout, compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress.

Key Features

  • Addresses the impact of large-scale catastrophic events such as floods, hurricanes, and mass shootings.
  • Proposes practical evidence-informed personal strategies and organisational approaches.
  • Focuses on five cognitive schemas disrupted in vicarious trauma: safety, esteem, trust, control, and intimacy.
  • Emphasises the psychological health and safety of mental health providers in the post-disaster workplace.
  • Represents a shift in perspective and provides a framework for promoting worker resilience.

Additional Information

What happens when clinicians share the trauma and vulnerability from the toll taken by a disaster with the victims they care for? How can clinicians increase resilience from disaster exposure and provide mental health services effectively?
