- Abstract
Clinicians working with adolescent sex offenders have the potential to develop compassion fatigue and burnout. To investigate the potential diminishing effects of therapist self-care on compassion fatigue and burnout, measures of self-care, compassion fatigue, burnout, and compassion satisfaction were distributed to mental health professionals (N = 90) who work with adolescent sex offenders at various programs throughout the state of Oregon. Results indicate that self-care does not strongly influence compassion fatigue or burnout. It does, however appear to influence compassion satisfaction. Also, compassion satisfaction might be important in decreasing burnout, but not fatigue.
