It discusses the environmental, interpersonal, and intrapersonal demands that impinge on the interpreter's decision latitude and notes the prevalence of cumulative trauma disorders, turnover, and burnout in the interpreting profession. Suggestions for improving interpreter education and professional development are offered. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
