Vicarious trauma constitutes an area
where there is still much opportunity
for research and study. Such further
research, as well as raising awareness
of the issues, can help foster greater

public understanding and appreciation
of the profession and may help enable
interpreters to advocate with regard
to their working conditions and even
fair compensation.
