Although there is increasing literature on secondary traumatic stress, little is known about the therapists' experiences in working with traumatized children from the therapists' points of view. Additionally, there is insufficient attention paid to treating trauma victims, and its effects in training programs (Pope & Feldman-Summers, 1992), as well as little focus on a model for providing a trauma specific supervision. This qualitative study explores therapists' perspectives related to the meaning they make of their work, and the development of their views. Procedure . In order to understand the therapists' "lived experience" in working with traumatized children, this qualitative study utilized in-depth, semi-structured interviews with eight experienced trauma therapists. An interpretevist paradigm was utilized to guide the analysis and interpretation, which was achieved with the assistance of the NUD*IST computer software program. Care was taken to ensure trustworthiness (Guba & Lincoln, 1994). Analysis was completed through the use of a matrix which provided organization and development of the relationship between the themes. Finally, an overall summary looked at across interview themes, including both similarities and differences. Results . Similarities across the interviews suggested that experienced therapists perceive common issues related to treatment, impact on the therapist of therapeutic work, and the importance of making personal meaning of their work. Additionally, there appeared to be a developmental process for therapists in terms of understanding their work related to the aforementioned issues that is somewhat unique to trauma therapists. Implications . There are implications in terms of understanding the development of the trauma therapist for training and supervision. Understanding the development of therapists' trauma work could aid in the timely introduction of such material into training programs. In addition to trauma-specific training, there are implications for increased attention to the area of therapist self-care. Although there has been some increase in attention to the area of therapist self-care (Kramen-Kahn & Downing-Hansen, 1998), it is an area that is generally not broached to a significant extent in training.
