Yet this very work, the relief of suffering, inflicts on healthcare providers suffering of their own that is often crippling. The most common terms for the pain caregivers and healers suffer from are burnout and moral distress. These common terms are, however, often used judgmentally--as if those trying to heal others have failed themselves, their colleagues, and their patients. The net result is that much discussion of burnout and moral distress, and the interventions they underwrite, have served only to worsen the crisis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eInto the Field of Suffering: Finding the Other Side of Burnout\u003c\/em\u003e provides a much-needed reframing of burnout and moral distress. These depleting experiences are approached as trials virtually inevitable in the course of the healer's vocation. The challenge medical professionals and caregivers face is not avoiding them, but meeting them directly with insight into the role of moral distress and burnout in the development of their vocation.\u003cem\u003e Into the Field of Suffering\u003c\/em\u003e presents a set of analytical frameworks and awareness skills, which have the potential to transform the work of healers and caregivers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere is a growing body of academic literature on these topics, and many memoirs recounting distressing situations and wounding traumas. \u003cem\u003eInto the Field of Suffering\u003c\/em\u003e takes its place alongside these works, while offering a distinctly different approach that treats as essential the spiritual dimension of the healing vocation. Practices, teachings and dialogues to assist in the cultivation of compassion and gratitude are key components in this presentation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSchenck and Neely address their readers in a direct voice, speaking to the sense of failure and discouragement so many healthcare professionals and caregivers experience on a daily basis. This is a book that carries a mentor's voice and presence, born out of experience with burnout and moral distress, and grounded in hundreds of conversations, de-briefings and interviews with healthcare workers and caregivers, patients and families.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47571951026327,"sku":"9780197666739","price":5240.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780197666739.webp?v=1774888587","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/into-the-field-of-suffering-finding-the-other-side-of-burnout-9780197666739","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
