Description

Compassion fatigue---the exhaustion caused by the demands of being empathic and helpful to those who are suffering---is found at every level among the underserved, underappreciated, and uncomplaining caregivers in animal-related fields. In this ground-breaking book, two prominent leaders in the field examine the causes of compassion fatigue and offer help to those who suffer from it. Compassion Fatigue in the Animal-Care Community is a must-read for animal shelter employees, volunteers, board members, veterinarians, and veterinary practice and veterinary hospital staffs, wildlife rehabilitators, breed-rescue or equine-rescue volunteers.
