“…The counselor is able to reduce vicarious trauma symptoms by engaging in meaningmaking (Brockhouse et al, 2011). This linear model describes the counselor's ability to obtain VPTG by observing the client's journey through both the struggle and success of trauma work (Brockhouse et al, 2011;Pearlman & Saakvitne, 1995).…”

“…Each of these experiences ranges in manifestation and presentation as a result of indirect trauma. Vicarious trauma is defined as a change in the cognitive schema (McCann & Pearlman, 1990) causing a disruption in the clinicians' views of the world, safety, self, and others as a result of indirect trauma exposure (McLean et al, 2003;Pearlman & Saakvitne, 1995). Compassion fatigue and STS are terms often used synonymously within the literature (Sprang et al, 2019).…”

Vicarious posttraumatic growth (VPTG) is the experience of growth from indirect trauma exposure. This study aimed to generate a theory regarding the factor structure of VPTG inventory (VPTGI) and establish evidence for construct validity. The preliminary three-factor solution supported initial depictions of the construct and indicated the VPTGI is sufficient for use as part of a broader investigation among helping professionals. The study identified evidence for convergent validity in the correlation between VPTG and compassion satisfaction but did not find evidence of discriminant validity in the relationship between VPTG and secondary traumatic stress.

“…Therapeutic empathy with the suicidal wish or "the death wish" is considered necessary in order to form a genuine connection and quality therapeutic alliance with the suicidal client (Orbach, 2001, p. 166). There is a general consensus that therapeutic work with clients expressing suicidal intent can have an adverse impact on the clinician and how they work with clients expressing suicidality (Pearlman & Saakvitne, 1995;Reeves, 2010;Reeves & Mintz, 2001). Weinberg et al (2011) proposed fifteen alliance-interfering factors and five alliance-facilitating factors.…”

Clinicians’ Experience of Collaboration in the Treatment of Suicidal Clients Within the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality Framework

Introduction There is little known about the clinicians’ experience of collaboration using the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicide (CAMS) framework. This study aimed to give voice to the clinician experience. Method A qualitative design utilised semi-structured interviews with ten psychologists who worked in a Suicide Assessment and Treatment Service (SATS) in Ireland which utilises the CAMS framework. Results An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach revealed several important findings. The superordinate themes included ‘Finding Safety’, ‘Regulation of the Self’, ‘Connecting’, and ‘Systemic Challenges’. Discussion The CAMS framework plays an important role in providing a safe base for the clinician (in terms of understanding suicidality, in addition to the structures of the framework). It provides a mechanism in which to process difficult emotions, and a way of communicating a formulation of suicide to the treating team. Importantly, the CAMS emerged as facilitating a collaborative, therapeutic way of working.

“…Authors typically describe TIS in broad strokes, often derived from-and mirroring recommendations of-principles of trauma-informed practice: safety, trust, choice, collaboration, empowerment, and culture, historical, and gender issues (Berger & Quiros, 2014;Jones & Branco, 2020;Knight, 2018;Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration, 2014a,', 2014b. Some (Courtois & Gold, 2009;Pearlman & Saakvitne, 1995) have emphasized the relational aspects of clinical supervision, giving particular attention to countertransference, vicarious traumatization, and parallel process. In addition, Miller (2018) and Sprang (Miller & Sprang, 2017) outlined a reflective approach focused on clinicians' emotional experiences and affect management skills toward the goal of reducing compassion fatigue.…”

It is increasingly evident that all clinicians, including trainees, will encounter trauma-exposed clients (Henning et al., 2021). Unfortunately, the practice of trauma-informed supervision (TIS) essential to supporting their work is not yet well articulated, particularly TIS for trainees, and many supervisors lack training in both trauma and clinical supervision (Henning et al., 2021). Accordingly, we interviewed 9 supervisors who had formal training in trauma work as well as clinical supervision (didactic and supervised supervision). We used semistructured interview questions to solicit specific examples of their in-session thoughts and actions when supervising a trainee seeing a trauma-exposed client. Consensual qualitative analysis (Hill, 2012) yielded 3 domains: their intentional planning, including presession review of a client session; in-session observations and decision-making that emphasized emotion regulation and active learning strategies; and positive impacts on the trainee and the supervisory relationship, with varied impacts on the supervisor's own emotion regulation. Supervisors' reports of their in-session thoughts and actions reflected core TIS principles as well as evidence-based best practices of clinical supervision, suggesting an integration of their clinical knowledge (trauma content) to inform their supervision practice (learning processes).
