Social workers are among those professionals who provide the behavioral health services in the community…
Interpreters’ Self-Perceptions of Their Use of Self When Interpreting in Health and Behavioural Health Settings
This study examines interpreters’ self-perception of their use of self when interpreting in health and behavioural health-care settings. Constant comparative analysis was used to analyze the individual, semi-structured interviews of thirty-six interpreters. Interpreters identified specific skills and techniques, that they developed on their own, (1) to create a safe environment for provider and client, and (2) to increase the effectiveness of the…

Little is known about the interpreters' experiences in providing in-person and telephonic interpreting for refugees. This…

Past posttraumatic stress symptoms may emerge as different symptoms years later, with social role changes within the family and stressors triggered by the social environment surrounding the refugees. After their initial entry into the country decades ago as survivors of political viole…
