Working with Traumatized Police-Officer Patients
Author: Daniel Rudofossi
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351840525
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
An insider perspective from a 'cop doc on the job,' this book is the first of its kind written in response to a need for a specialized guide for clinicians that operationally defines and responsibly treats what Dan Rudofossi terms Police and Public Safety Complex PTSD. In reading this book, you are led through an understanding of how to work with police officers who experience cumulative loss in trauma. "Doc Dan" initiates you into an original cultural competence of how and why his theory works in practice. You will leave the journey with a practical sense of how the ecological context and ethological motivation are part of the psychological presentation of almost all officers suffering from complex trauma and loss.This guide is crucial reading, original in its breadth and scope of perspective on how to intervene with the traumatized officer. Toward that end, Rudofossi presents his Eco-Ethological Existential Analysis of Police and Public Safety Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Emotive, affective, cognitive, behavioral, and existential ranges of expression of trauma are vast, diverse, and often intense in police officers. This book delivers applied theory with clinical examples, including practical interventions for the clinician and handouts for the officer-patient. The clinician will be assisted in encountering officers' existential suffering from the edge of despair to the precipice of meaning. The guide is at once stimulating, exciting, and very serious in its potential for clinical interventions.

The Best of Success
Author: Mac Anderson
Publisher: Sourcebooks, Inc.
ISBN: 1608102408
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Success! A magical word indeed, but what exactly is it? A one-time thing, like hitting a home run, scoring a touchdown, or winning a game? Is it a destination? Or a journey? Is there a fixed, clearly marked place called "Success"? Or does it vary from individual to individual? Does success mean achievement, or fame, or power, or wealth? Who decides when one has become "successful"? Can it be self-conferred? Is it, like beauty, in the eye of the beholder? Can we objectively define it? Can two people have nearly identical track records and yet one be seen as successful and the other to have failed? In our research for this book, it became very clear that defining and describing success is no easy task. It is indeed a moving target, as subjective as it is elusive. We hope the quotations about them, and the stories behind each of them, will be a source of inspiration in your journey along the highway to success.

Book Description
In the far distant future, the medieval world is overrun with mulans, mutated animals that brutally kill any living species in their path. The Study of Mulan Association, or S.O.M.A., sends two-year-old Rei to Besaid village, where his life will be filled with lies and unhappiness. He is treated as an outcast not only because of his unique powers, but because S.O.M.A. ordered everyone to shun him. Rei does not learn of his powers until the day before his eighteenth birthday, when he defeats a mulan. The next day, he waits for his assignment to a guarding post, like any other eighteen year old. Instead, Rei is not assigned a post, but is told to walk through the dangerous wilds to visit S.O.M.A., the association that appears to be the reason for everyone's survival in this brutal world. S.O.M.A. houses an underground lab, where experiments may one day lead to winning the ongoing fight with mulans. Rei meets with the two leaders of S.O.M.A., who try to make him feel at home. They tell him of an experiment they wanted to do on him so he can one day better understand his powers. But the association is lying to Rei. And piece by piece he puts the puzzle together. Rei realizes that he must one day discover his true destiny and meet the creator of the mulans.

Wife of the Chef
Author: Courtney Febbroriello
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 030754933X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
Wife of the Chef is at once a no-holds-barred memoir of restaurant life and a revealing look at married life. For Courtney Febbroriello, the two are intertwined. She and her husband own an American bistro in Connecticut. He's the chef, so naturally he gets all the credit. She has the role of keeping things running, but she's the wife, so she remains anonymous or invisible or both. Febbroriello comes front and center here, detailing the everyday challenges she faces—taking over dish-washing duty, bailing waiters out of jail, untangling the immigration laws, cajoling lazy suppliers, handling unreasonable customers, and a host of other emergency duties. She pokes fun at people who take food and wine—and the chef—too seriously, with witty comments on everything from "chef envy" to the much-ballyhooed James Beard Awards. Spiced with a healthy spoonful of feminism and enriched with a cup of humor, Wife of the Chef is the tastiest "dish" of the season.
