Clinical Psychology Psychology Secondary Stigma Professional Burnout Personal Growth Job Choice Regret Mental Health Professionals Sex Offender Counselors Case Managers College Counselors Although research has been done on social stigma and its effects on individuals inmarginalized groups, relatively little is known about the effects of secondary stigma for thosepeople who are associated with stigmatized individuals, such as mental health professionals.Using a sample of 196 mental health professionals who work with sexual offenders (64 sexualoffender counselors), serious mental illness (64 case managers), and college students (68 collegecounselors), the present research examined mental health professionals' experience of secondarystigma, personal growth, professional burnout, and job choice regret as a function of workingwith clients. The mixed-method research design includes a qualitative analysis of mental healthprofessionals’ descriptions of secondary stigma and the impact of their work on theirprofessional and personal lives. The psychometric properties of the newly developed measure,the Mental Health Professionals Secondary Stigma Scale (MHPSSS) were also evaluated.Findings suggest that sex offender counselors reported experiencing more secondary stigma anddepersonalization than case managers and college counselors. Case managers reported higherlevels of personal growth followed by college counselors and sexual offender counselors. Allthree samples of mental health professionals identified positive and negative aspects of theirwork. Implications of findings for research and clinical practice are discussed. 2015-11-18 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1445980318 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1445980318 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
