Book Description: Help for the Helper challenges current thinking about the ways in which therapists are affected by their clients. The result is a new outlook upon the therapeutic process that yields concrete strategies for mental health professionals who want to maintain their own mental health and overall well-being while maximizing their competency with clients. Based on the latest neurobiological research and drawing from the literature in social psychology and folk psychology, Rothschild identifies three major processes that can, when left unchecked, pose enormous risks to a professional's well-being. The most unexplored of these processes is empathy—a, if not the, major tool of the helping professions. Bridging the psychological and neurophysiological gap, Rothschild expands the concept of empathy by illuminating its heretofore neglected body component. The second process is the regulation of arousal in the professional. Rothschild reviews the relevant theories on stress and relaxation, applying it to the therapist in the helping situation. Thirdly, drawing again on neuroscience, Rothschild promotes the importance of maintaining the ability to think clearly, even in the most stressful of helping situations. Throughout each chapter, case illustrations, supervision transcripts, and easy-to-follow exercises will equip readers with the tools necessary to identify and mediate their own individual risk factors for compassion fatigue, vicarious traumatization and burnout.
