The new edition builds on the strengths of the earlier editions and incorporates the lived experience of practitioners in the helping, caring, and relationship-intense fields. Readers will find new material in the Architecture of Resilience chapter, a self-care action plan that incorporates SMART goals to increase goal-setting success and a focus on both individual responsibility and organizational responsibility for burnout prevention and the development of resilience.

The new edition also includes self-reflection exercises in each chapter, a resiliency inventory for practitioners, a strong focus on research, and an accessible writing style. The authors continue to chart a hopeful path for practitioners, one that allows for a high level of caring for others in the helping professions while also artfully caring for oneself.
