Workplace violence (WPV) is a global concern and consists of psychological and physical threats or acts. To date, limited data exist to document client-initiated WPV experienced by professional counselors. Survey results from 2616 counselors in 12 states indicate that most counselors have no memory of WPV training from their counselor education programs. Over 75% of the sample experienced WPV. Counselors experience psychological forms of WPV at greater rates than physical forms. Over half of WPV experiences occurred during participants’ graduate training and in the first 4 years of their professional practice. WPV occurs in all locations where counselors work. WPV's consequences differ, ranging from none to career ending disruptions. Counselors’ responses varied, including no action or responses, seeking support from supervisors, professional peers, and family members, and engaging in medical and/or mental health services. Suggestions for practice, training, and future research are offered.

咨询师中客户发起的工作场所暴力发生率：一项全国性研究

工作场所暴力 (WPV) 是一个全球性问题，包括心理和身体威胁或行为。迄今为止，记录专业咨询师经历的客户发起的 WPV 的数据有限。对 12 个州 2616 名辅导员的调查结果表明，大多数辅导员不记得在辅导员教育计划中接受过 WPV 培训。超过 75% 的样本经历过 WPV。咨询师经历心理形式的 WPV 的几率高于身体形式的。超过一半的 WPV 经历发生在参与者的研究生培训期间以及他们专业实践的前 4 年中。WPV 发生在辅导员工作的所有地点。WPV 的后果各不相同，从没有后果到职业生涯结束不等。辅导员的反应各不相同，包括不采取行动或回应、寻求主管的支持、专业同行和家庭成员，以及从事医疗和/或心理健康服务。提供了实践、培训和未来研究的建议。
