在过去的二十年里,社会工作者在各种环境中治疗创伤幸存者。人们对这项工作对临床医生的影响越来越感兴趣。替代性创伤是一个概念,用来理解创伤工作对临床医生的影响。本文描述了一项社会工作临床医生处理两种类型创伤的研究:(1)人为创伤,性虐待;(2)自然造成的创伤,癌症。对临床医生的认知图式的影响和混杂变量的个人虐待史和多年的经验进行了描述。据报道,主要与遭受性虐待的客户打交道的临床医生比与患有癌症的客户打交道的临床医生在认知图式上出现了更多的中断。描述了对社会实践和教育的影响。
Over the past two decades, social workers have treated trauma survivors in a variety of settings. Interest has increased in the effect of this work on clinicians. Vicarious traumatization is a concept used to understand the impact of trauma work on clinicians. This article describes a study of social work clinicians working with two types of trauma: (1) the human-induced trauma, sexual abuse, and (2) the naturally caused trauma, cancer. The effect on clinician's cognitive schemas and the confounding variables of personal history of abuse and years' experience are described. Clinicians who worked primarily with clients who were sexually abused reported more disruptions in cognitive schemas than clinicians who worked with clients who had cancer. Implications for social practice and education are described.
