Official synopsis Publisher
This text proposes a way of helping people called psychological debriefing, which involves encouraging everyone who has been involved in a stressful situation – including policemen/women and ambulancemen/women – to talk about it, whether they feel the need or not. It challenges the tough enough to cope attitude which is common in the emergency services and armed forces. This book is not just for victims of major disaster, but also for anyone who has been the victim of armed robbery, burglary, a bank/building society raid or an accident. Advice is also offered about being the centre of media attention, and each chapter contains case studies.
