Thematic Focus: Vicarious/Secondary Trauma

I recently posted a link to an opinion piece in the New York Times entitled "A Crisis of Anxiety among Aid Workers." Since then, I have come across several blog posts and articles that discuss the vicarious or secondary trauma experienced by a variety of different actors who work and interact with forced migrants, so I thought I would gather them together for easier reference.
