TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - A study of mindfulness and self-care: a path to self-compassion for female therapists in training JO - Women and therapy A1 - Dorian, Marina A1 - Killebrew, Jessica Evers SP - 155 EP - 163 VL - 37 IS - 1-2 N2 - Research has shown the prevalence of burnout and "compassion fatigue" in women mental health professionals. Mindfulness training addresses these potential problems, building strategies for both prevention and coping. Training in mindfulness can benefit women psychotherapists-in-training as they handle the stresses of graduate school, and as therapists, in addition to benefiting their future therapy clients. This study explores the impact of a course on mindfulness for psychotherapists-in-training, evaluating outcomes of a 10-week elective course offered at California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University in San Diego, CA.
