Self-help β¦ Penny’s Take
Overcoming Secondary Stress in Medical and Nursing Practice
Robert J. Wicks Β· 2021
80/100
π Worth It
Published by Oxford University Press and updated for the pandemic era, this is a rigorous, well-structured resource for healthcare professionals dealing with burnout and compassion fatigue. The specialized self-assessment tool and spiritual-relational framework add genuine depth beyond what clinical manuals typically offer. Narrowly targeted β if you're not in healthcare, there's not much here for you β but within that audience it's a strong pick.
