Summary:A number of studies confirm the occurrence of SPTG in professionals working with trauma survivors, including health care providers [4-6,23,24], therapists [5-7,17], social workers [5-7], probation officers [7], police officers [25] and clergymen providing pastoral care in hospitals, hospices or prisons [11].

[...]a more important group of factors determining the occurrence of negative and positive effects of secondary exposure to trauma are the subjective properties of the helpers, including their approach to cognitively processing the trauma [7,8,24]. According to this model, traumatic events experienced by people seeking help constitute a significant challenge for the cognitive schemata of the professionals providing assistance.
