Vicarious Trauma in the Legal Profession is a practical guide to
trauma, burnout and collective care. Using case studies from
lawyers in their own words, it provides the individual with tools
for self-reflection and provides organisations with an
understanding of trauma-informed working practices and guidance
towards implementing collective care, training and support in the
workplace. Vicarious Trauma in the Legal Profession is essential
reading for social justice lawyers across many areas of law and
should be required reading for organisational leaders, HR managers,
practice managers, representational and membership associations and
those in charge of regulation of the professions. Lawyers working
in legal aid, social justice or with survivors of injury regularly
work with traumatic and emotionally potent caseloads and often draw
on skills for which they have had no formal training. They bear
witness to the pain of clients, to the suffering that humans
inflict upon each other, and to the incredible strength of
survivors of violence, torture and abuse. They do this while
dealing with the financial pressure of poor rates of pay,
constantly overstretched resources and a relentlessly hostile
political environment. While there has been a growing conversation
within the legal profession about the mental health of lawyers,
much of it looks at mental health as a primarily personal issue:
the individual's work/life balance and stress as a personal
response. Vicarious Trauma in the Legal Profession draws focus to
the impact of traumatic casework for lawyers and how collectively
change can be made.
