• W347602441 abstract "Following a traumatic event many people experience on-going negative symptoms; in contrastsome who survive trauma become stronger or grow from the experience in some way (Tedeschi& Calhoun, 1995, 1996; Linley & Joseph, 2002). In addition to those who experience an eventdirectly, there are those who experience the event indirectly or vicariously (Figley, 1995;Kassam-Adams, 1995; McCann & Pearlman, 1990; Pearlman & MacIan, 1995). Professionalslikely to experience a traumatic event vicariously include emergency response workers andpolice officers. These professionals attend a traumatic event and witness the atrocities occurring;however there may also be a therapist, social worker or a psychologist who hears about theevent, days, weeks or even years down the track and who is potentially exposed to similarexperiences many times during their career. It is those who have been vicariously exposed to thetraumatic experience of others that this literature review is interested in. In particular, it focuseson the consequences for therapists who are vicariously exposed to trauma only via their clientsretelling of the event, and the schema transformations they may encounter. A recent shift topositive psychology approaches in research and the therapeutic setting has created a focus on thesalutary outcomes of trauma on primary victims, therefore vicarious trauma and/or compassionfatigue in the trauma therapist is reviewed and the occurrence of posttraumatic growth followingprimary and secondary exposure to trauma is also examined. Of particular interest are thepersonal and organizational variables which may assist in facilitating vicarious posttraumaticgrowth for the trauma therapist. In order to accommodate the diverse occupational contexts inwhich therapists work, this review draws a distinction between and compares the experiences ofthose who work in a clinic or institutional employment with those who work in private practice. An extensive literature illustrates the possible negative effects that providing traumatherapy can have on the therapist. Yet little is known about the potential positive outcomesexperienced by therapists as a result of this work. An influencing factor on a therapists wellbeing and mental health may be the climate of their work environment and the hassles or upliftsthey experience in their workplace, and personal differences such as their own experience oftrauma, and personal therapy. This questionnaire based study aimed to investigate firstly, theexistence of positive outcomes or vicarious posttraumatic growth for therapists as a result ofworking with trauma clients, but also examines organizational differences in therapists who workin private practice and those who work in clinic/institutional employment, and sought todetermine if those differences impede or facilitate vicarious posttraumatic growth. Sixty fourtherapists completed the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, demographic questionnaire and theWork Hassles and Uplifts scales. Data were divided into two groups based on type of work place(private practice vs. clinic/institution). Results show that most therapists reported positiveoutcomes as a result of their work. No difference was found between the employment groups andlevels of posttraumatic growth. However, therapists who reported more work uplifts alsoreported higher levels of posttraumatic growth. No difference was found between the twoworkplace groups on the uplifts scale, however, clinic/institutional therapists scored significantlyhigher on the work hassles questionnaire. Implications for the workplace are discussed andsuggested directions for further research is outlined." @default.
