Comments[edit source]

Hi there, I have found a few references that may be of interest to you! http://cccoi.org/i/u/2043019/i/socialphobia.pdf#page=31 this one is specific to prevention of vicarious trauma, and might be useful if you are looking at future directions/implications of the topic etc. http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/tep/2/1/26/ (full text at UC library) this one is an exploratory study, and it kind of looks into risk factors and implications for mental health worker training. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272735803000308 this one includes a section on theoretical explanations for vicarious trauma, so it might be good if you're looking to examine the theoretical background of the issue. Hopefully these help you. Good luck! U3117451 (discusscontribs) 05:19, 16 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, I am researching vicarious post-traumatic growth for my book chapter and found this journal article relating to the effect of empathy on growth and vicarious exposure to trauma. https://onlinelibrary-wiley-com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/doi/full/10.1002/jts.20704 Higher empathy scores equals more growth. The positive effect of vicarious exposure to trauma is quite profound and you may wish to expand on your sub section relating to this outcome? This article may be a helpful starting point if you choose to do so. All the best. --Elle o you jay (discusscontribs) 11:06, 15 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
