Social workers need right kind of empathy


Social workers who wear their hearts on their sleeves risk burnout, but those who fail to engage emotionally with their clients risk alienating them. That is the conclusion of research to be presented today describing the development of a pioneering tool kit for trainee social workers designed to help them manage their emotions more effectively.

Note: Perhaps more people should work a little harder to turn up their stress levels by telling them what heartless pieces of crap they really are so that we can get rid of them that much faster.
