Healthcare providers are constantly confronted with illness and
injury, and the challenges of healing. Yet this very work, the
relief of suffering, inflicts on healthcare providers suffering of
their own that is often crippling. The most common terms for the
pain caregivers and healers suffer from are burnout and moral
distress. These common terms are, however, often used
judgmentally—as if those trying to heal others have failed
themselves, their colleagues, and their patients. The net result is
that much discussion of burnout and moral distress, and the
interventions they underwrite, have served only to worsen the
crisis. Into the Field of Suffering: Finding the Other Side of
Burnout provides a much-needed reframing of burnout and moral
distress. These depleting experiences are approached as trials
virtually inevitable in the course of the healer's vocation. The
challenge medical professionals and caregivers face is not avoiding
them, but meeting them directly with insight into the role of moral
distress and burnout in the development of their vocation. Into the
Field of Suffering presents a set of analytical frameworks and
awareness skills, which have the potential to transform the work of
healers and caregivers. There is a growing body of academic
literature on these topics, and many memoirs recounting distressing
situations and wounding traumas. Into the Field of Suffering takes
its place alongside these works, while offering a distinctly
different approach that treats as essential the spiritual dimension
of the healing vocation. Practices, teachings and dialogues to
assist in the cultivation of compassion and gratitude are key
components in this presentation. Schenck and Neely address their
readers in a direct voice, speaking to the sense of failure and
discouragement so many healthcare professionals and caregivers
experience on a daily basis. This is a book that carries a mentor's
voice and presence, born out of experience with burnout and moral
distress, and grounded in hundreds of conversations, de-briefings
and interviews with healthcare workers and caregivers, patients and
families.
