This study was intended to examine the secondary traumatic stress and vicarious trauma which were common examples of indirect traumatic stress faced by 'child counselors’. It also sought to identify the factors that might have a moderating effect on secondary traumatic stress and vicarious trauma. These research goals were to be achieved by defining the supervision, self-analysis, social support, and self-efficacy of counselors. The question of how the previous traumatic experiences of child counselors would have a moderating effect in relationship between secondary traumatic stress and vicarious trauma was also addressed. The subjects of this study were made up of 203 counselors for children who were providing counseling guidance to children less than 18 years old. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: first, the results showed that the supervision period did not have any moderating effect on secondary traumatic stress and vicarious trauma and that the frequency of supervision had a moderating effect on vicarious trauma. The results also showed that the period of self-analysis was a significant moderating variable in relation to the effect that the traumatic experience of counselors for children would have on vicarious trauma. It did not have any moderating effect on secondary traumatic stress. The frequency of self-analysis was found to have a moderating effect on secondary traumatic stress and vicarious trauma. Third, the results showed that the traumatic experience of counselors for children had a significant effect on secondary traumatic stress and vicarious trauma. The degrees of social support and self-efficacy, commonly defined as moderating variables were not appropriate. Counselors tended to protect themselves as counselors if they were provided with a professional intervention, which also had a helpful effect on the overall counseling process.
