First published in 1995. Traumatology, or the field of traumatic
stress studies, has become a dominant focus of interest in the
mental health fields only in the past decade. Yet the origin of the
study of human reactions to traumatic events can be traced to the
earliest medical writings in Kunus Pyprus, published in 1900 B.C.
in Egypt. Many factors account for the recent emergence of this
field, including a growing awareness of the long-term consequences
of shocking events. Among these consequences are violence toward
others, extraordinary depression, dysfunctional behavior, and a
plethora of medical maladies associated with emotional stress. This
is the latest in a series of books that have focused on the
immediate and long-term consequences of highly stressful events.
The purposes of the book, then, are (a) to introduce the concept of
compassion fatigue as a natural and disruptive by-product of
working with traumatized and troubled clients; (b) to provide a
theoretical basis for the assessment and treatment of compassion
stress and compassion fatigue: (c) to explain the difference
between compassion fatigue and PTSD, burnout, and
countertransference; (d) to identify innovative methods for
treating compassion fatigue in therapists, and (e) to suggest
methods for preventing compassion fatigue.
