Social workers regularly make high-risk, high-impact decisions:
determining that a child has been abused; that an individual may
take their own life; or that someone with a history of violence
poses harm to another. In the course of this work, social workers
are exposed to acute and prolonged workplace trauma and stress that
may result in posttraumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and
burnout. These effects not only impact practitioners, but also the
decisions that social workers make and ultimately the quality of
the services that they provide. In this book, Cheryl Regehr
explores the intersection between workplace stress, trauma
exposure, and professional decision-making in social workers. She
weaves together practice experience, research on the impact of
stress and trauma on performance and decision-making in other
high-risk professions including paramedics and police officers, and
the empirical study of competence and decision-making in social
work practice. Covering a wide range of research and theory, she
surveys practical approaches to reducing stress and trauma
exposure, mitigating their effects in social work practice, and
improving decision-making. This book is critical reading for all
social workers who engage in high-stakes decision-making, from
those newly embarking on a career to expert practitioners.
