Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to discuss how the application of a trauma-informed practice can minimize the effects of trauma on the therapist. Over the duration of this course we have discussed the effects of traumatic stress on individuals who have endured a traumatic event. We conclude the course by addressing the potential negative impact the treatment of these individuals can have on the therapist over time. As a practicing social worker, it is important to provide your clients with the best course of treatment and care, but also essential to be aware of the consequences of clinical applications and to practice self-care to ensure a successful, lifelong career.
Course Objectives
· CO 6: Discuss the ethical and professional issues related to working clinically with persons presenting with trauma-related issues, including factors related to cultural competence, rapport and relationship building, appropriate boundaries and empathy, application of published research to community-based populations, and therapist countertransference and self-care.
