The post-covid landscape has unearthed a mental health epidemic in the United States that suggests many people are struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and fear. Perhaps now more than ever, wise, compassionate, grounded clinicians are needed to accompany children, adolescents, adults, groups, couples, and families through challenging life experiences. However, with the increase in care needed, mental health clinicians are at increased risk of experiencing compassion fatigue, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress.

The Resilient Clinician, 2nd Edition, is an updated and much needed guide to preventing and limiting acute and chronic secondary stress in mental health professionals and encouraging and expanding experiences of resiliency, self-awareness, mindfulness, and growth. Informed by positive psychology and infused with compassion and wisdom, this book will encourage clinicians to find, nurture, and maintain the sense of deep perspective needed to be professionally useful and to personally grow.

Robert J. Wicks received his doctorate in psychology from Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital and is Professor Emeritus, Loyola University Maryland.

Mary Beth Werdel is an associate professor and director of the MA in Mental Health Counseling & Spiritual Integration in the Graduate School of Religion at Fordham University.
