Diplôme Master The psychological implications of interpreting for survivors: training as a tool for addressing vicarious trauma among interpreters eng 2023 author Pyke Grainne Mary 957733 director Ruiz Rosendo Lucia 738297 Département d'interprétation (INT) Interpreters play an important role in healthcare. This article reviews vicarious trauma among interpreters, assessing its incidence and manifestations. The research focuses on interpreters in healthcare working with trauma survivors. It is based on the hypothesis that the impact of vicarious trauma can be mitigated through appropriate training. While previous studies of the vicarious traumatization of interpreters have tended to highlight its prevalence and focus on coping strategies to prevent it, this research is specifically focused on training as a key contributor to protecting interpreters’ mental health. This study compiles key coping strategies and uses these as a point of reference to conduct an analysis of several training programmes. Three widely accessible training programmes, designed for interpreters, are analysed. It is contended that, while the training programmes are a valuable tool for interpreters, more must be done to ensure that the training is made available to interpreters, and that service providers are au fait with working with interpreters.
