In a situation where stressers have led to maladaptive behavior on the part of individuals or organizations, change is called for.

Download or read book Stress Management and the Law Enforcement Family Telecourse Workbook written by David W. Sylstra and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1970's saw the development of stress management programs for peace officers as well as additional research into topics such as critical incident stress debriefing and traumatic stress syndrome. Both academic and line level research efforts have continued and there is a rather substantial body of research that now has become a regular topic from the basic academy to the executive level. Unfortunately, one critical component of the officer's well-being, the peace officer's family, has been left out of most of the research efforts, and generally, left out of programs to provide assistance for officers. This telecourse is designed to introduce the concept of peace officers' family stress, some of its effects, and how it may affect the department, as well as some general methods for both internal and external stress reduction. This workbook is primarily a resource and reference guide for persons who would like to inquire further into the topic.

Download or read book Traumatic Stress in Police Officers written by Douglas Paton and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2009 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this book is to demonstrate how adopting a career perspective can provide a more comprehensive conceptualization of traumatic stress processes as they apply to police officers and agencies and provide a framework that can be used to guide research and intervention agenda in ways that reflect the changes that can occur over the course of a police career that can span decades. The book examines the nature and effectiveness of the police role in dealing with adverse events as they unfold within a career perspective. It begins with pre-employment experiences and their implications for operational well-being and concludes with a discussion of the implications of a police career for disengagement or retirement from this role. It draws upon empirical research to provide an evidence-based approach to traumatic stress risk management and well-being in contemporary policing. Based on state-of-the-art research, the book provides a framework that police agencies can use to develop their officers and their organizations in ways that enhance their capability to confront an increasingly uncertain future in ways that maximize the interests of front-line policing. Areas of discussion include incorporation of police trauma into a life-career course perspective; changing context and nature of police work; recruitment, selection, and socialization in the context of critical incident and terrorist work; changing gender balance; training in uncertain times; managing risk and vulnerability; organizational context; family dynamics; inter and intraorganizational teams; health and mental health; consequences of long-term exposure to hazards; and disengagement and retirement. The text will be of significant interest to police organizations and agencies whose officers face a high risk of experiencing disaster and traumatic stress, law enforcement managerial and supervisory personnel, human resource and health and safety professionals, and mental health professionals and consultants. The text will also be relevant to those researching traumatic stress, disaster stress, and emergency management as well as other protective services.

Download or read book TREATING POLICE STRESS written by John M. Madonna and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an important work that addresses a very timely issue: police stress and its treatment. Its authors both hold doctoral degrees in education and teach at the university level. In addition, both gentlemen have extensive experience treating police stress. The book begins by tracing the history of the treatment (or lack thereof) of police stress, specifically its treatment by peers. It describes the obstacles peer counselors face and their tactics for addressing them. It goes into detail regarding the types of stress that officers face on the job, and the ways in which these stresses make this work so very different from other jobs. It also provides statistics regarding the high rates of divorce, suicide, illness, and premature death that police are subject to. In these ways, it provides a strong argument supporting the establishment of stress-reduction programs for police. The book also makes it clear that peers are uniquely qualified to do this counseling work; they have “been there” and can gain the respect and trust more easily than an outsider. It recounts instances of successful peer counseling, and it recounts instances of sad failure. The book artfully presents the results of extensive surveys and interviews of the people involved in a large peer counseling program—from both the peers and those they counsel. Perhaps most important, departments and organizations wishing to emulate the work that is profiled will find this to be an invaluable guide.
