Elements of Supervision in Sexual Violence Counselors' Narratives: A Qualitative Analysis
Sommer, Carol A.; Cox, Jane A.
Counselor Education and Supervision, v45 n2 p119-134 Dec 2005
The literature on vicarious traumatization has suggested that trauma-sensitive supervision may help to minimize the effect of vicarious exposure to trauma; however, nothing from the perspective of trauma counselors was noted. The present qualitative study involved 1 male and 8 female sexual violence counselors who had worked with sexual violence survivors from 1 to 9 years. The use of semistructured interviews and basic interpretive analysis revealed 4 themes: counselor feelings, vicarious traumatization, helpful qualities of supervision, and organizational considerations.
