Since the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake attacked Hanshin metropolitan area on January 17 in 1995, mental health field in Japan has discussed post-traumatic issues among disaster victims. However, the effects of secondary traumatic stress, which might affect the psychological state of practitioners by working with traumatized victims, have little been paid attention. Several studies conducted in the United States have already warned that a variety of psychological problems, such as insomnia, depressive disorder, somatic disorder, drug abuse and helplessness, are commonly observed among those practitioners who constantly work with traumatized clients. This article focuses on the coping strategies against the secondary traumatic stress on the behalf of social work practitioners. Self-awareness issue is emphasized by means of applying a classification model of countertransference reactions to clients' traumatic experiences. In addition, several implications with regard to the establishment of psychological support system for those social workers, such as 1) development of educational program for trauma therapy, 2) reinforcement of supervision system, 3) formulation of psychological support system, and 4) improvement of organizational factors, are proposed respectively.
