Analytical professionals working in criminal justice and in social media companies are exposed to aversive details of traumatic events. Albeit indirect, exposure in these roles is repeated and can be extreme, including exposure to material containing lethal violence, sexual assault, and serious self-harm, leading to post-traumatic stress disorder and Secondary Traumatic Stress reactions. Incorporating relevant empirical research, this article considers the mechanisms that may contribute to post-exposure post-traumatic stress disorder and Secondary Traumatic Stress reactions in these roles. Building on the Ehlers and Clark model, subsequent extensions, and the authors' experience of working as, and conducting research with, law enforcement professionals, a new model is proposed to explain post-exposure post-traumatic stress disorder/Secondary Traumatic Stress reactions.
在刑事司法和社交媒体公司工作的分析专业人员会接触到创伤性事件的厌恶性细节。尽管这种接触是间接的，但在这些岗位上的接触是反复的，而且可能非常极端，包括接触包含致命暴力、性侵犯和严重自残的材料，从而导致创伤后应激障碍和继发性创伤应激反应。结合相关实证研究，本文探讨了在这些岗位上接触后可能导致创伤后应激障碍和继发性创伤应激反应的机制。基于埃勒斯和克拉克模型、后续扩展以及作者作为执法专业人员工作和开展研究的经验，提出了一个新的模型来解释接触后创伤后应激障碍/继发性创伤应激反应。
