A review of the literature on the prevention and treatment of vicarious trauma / prepared by Janelle Beaudette, Sara Rubenfeld & Mari C. Shanahan Somerville.: PS82-2/16-10E-PDF
“The term “vicarious trauma” (VT) was originally coined in the early 1990s to describe the effect that working with trauma patients can have on psychotherapists. Research on VT has since expanded to include other work contexts, such as police officers, 911 dispatchers, social workers, and nurses. This review identifies strategies that can be used to reduce the impact on workers in the correctional context who could be vulnerable to the effects of VT"--What we looked at.
