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.
Proper Secrets is a love story set in an alternate Europe akin to
the Regency England period. Truth and consequences are central to
the book, for good and for worse. Emily Worthing is a
strong-minded, practical country lady, determined to stay unwed and
keep her independence. When the Wingraves move into Reddester Hall,
Emily and the rest of the Worthings are challenged to keep their
principles as day by day they grow to love a family that won't
allow anyone close enough to find out their true purpose. It takes
no time at all for the Wingraves' troubles to follow them to
Tripton in the form of Jude Annesley, a disowned man rife with
depravity and disorder. Unable to fool Emily with false charm, Jude
plots a course of revenge that will strip away all pretense,
leaving no secret intact.
