Review # 1 was written on 2014-08-03 00:00:00 Nicole Allen I read this book as I was starting out in my mental health Master's program. It was helpful, supportive, and like a good therapist, I kept going back to it. Compassion fatigue is real, and heading into this field, I wasn't fully aware of how this might impact me, but now that I have time on the ground and have become licensed (and, shall I say, seen some things), I should pick this up again. Highly recommend.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-04-01 00:00:00 Carl Falvey Excellent Delivery Robert Wicks provides in-depth and detailed insight into this phenomenon of burnout and compassion fatigue. Each chapter includes its own appendix that you can apply to yourself and/or interviewees, as well as a list of questions for contemplation regarding these issues. The lists of questions can seem a little overwhelming, such as the feeling of where to start in answering the questions; do I have time to go into each of them and at depth? However, they are there and valuable indeed and I give 5 stars because of the content, design, and experience from being in this field of study to report as he has.
