The resilient practitioner : burnout and compassion fatigue prevention and self-care strategies for the helping professions / Thomas M. Skovholt and Michelle Trotter-Mathison.

"The Resilient Practitioner, 4th edition, builds on the first three editions and on the lived experience of practitioners in the helping, caring, and relationship-intense fields. This edition gives students and practitioners tools to use when creating their own boundaried generosity, a vibrant personal method that balances caring for others and caring for oneself. This edition includes newer ideas in the Architecture of Resilience chapter, a self-care action plan that incorporates SMART goals to increase goal setting success, tools for the journey, and a focus on both individual responsibility and organizational responsibility for burnout prevention and the development of resilience. Readers will find ongoing strengths of the last edition: self-reflection exercises in each chapter, a resiliency inventory for practitioners, a strong focus on research and an accessible writing style. The authors also continue to chart a hopeful path for practitioners, a path that allows for a high level of caring for others in the helping professions while also artfully caring for oneself"-- Provided by publisher.
