• Building Resilience in Social Workers: An Exploratory Study on the Impacts of a Mindfulness-based Intervention (2017, background): “Compassion fatigue as a concept is narrower in scope, and refers to a unique circumstance inwhich the practitioner develops trauma-like symptoms in response to work with traumatised clients (Berzoff & Kita, 2010; Bride et al., 2007).”
• Trauma-Informed Social Work Practice: Practice Considerations and Challenges (2015, background): “Indirect trauma is not the same as countertransference, which occurs in response to a particular client (Berzoff and Kita 2010).”
• Reconsidering Self Care (2016, background): “This is colloquially known as ‘‘bringing one’s work home at night’’ (Lee and Miller 2013) and is assumed to result in a personal self that is overwhelmed by or over-identified with the emotional distress of clients (Berzoff and Kita 2010; Siebert 2005).”
