Reviews / Votes
"This is an essential read for anyone interested in working with or wishing to understand the police culture. The nature of police work requires much and can be tremendously impactful on personalities - both individually and collectively. Needing help or not, police officers don't leave their culture very far or very often. And, if they do, they remain a cautious and vigilant group. The authors have provided a most excellent resource for anyone who intends to be at ease in and among the pride." -- Paul Whitesell, PhD, Former Superintendent, Indiana State Police Department, Board Certified (Diplomate) Forensic Examiner for the American College of Forensic Examiners; Police Psychotherapist"This is an absolutely essential book for anyone who provides mental health care to law enforcement personnel. It is also a great resource for law enforcement leaders, officers, and family members who want to understand mental health issues and psychological treatment in the law enforcement community. This is the single best resource available in this critical field of study, bringing in some of the greatest minds in our nation, along with important lessons and experts from over a decade of war, to assist in healing wounds the pain that are "behind the badge." --Dave Grossman, Lt. Col., USA (retired); Author of On Killing and On Combat
