Force Under Pressure
How Cops Live and Why They Die
eBook Summary:
Lawrence Blum describes the sources of danger, injuries, and victory to police officers in a down-to-earth, readable style. Blum’s main point is that there are missing “ingredients” in the training and socialization of police officers. In his book, these ingredients include techniques and tools to condition the officer’s decision-making and concentration during conditions of emergency; internal controls necessary to maintain the will to survive; and aids that will prevent officers being defeated by any threat. Blum offers tools to help police officers cope with unanticipated or rapidly changing encounters.
Lawrence Blum, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist who has worked with police departments for over twenty years. He lives in Los Angeles.
Reader Review:
Rating: 5 Stars
Force Under Pressure:How Cops Live and Why They Die is an easy read for those of us who are not in law enforcement or in the psychological sciences. Dr. Blum has a gift for bringing us into his world and allowing us to experience the traumas and tragedies our police face willingly and the toll it takes on them psycholgically. Individual police experiences and its aftermath are met with constructive treatments such as mental conditioning and stress management resources. This book is not meant for the lay person but I can use many of the techniques discussed in stressful areas of my own life. I have given copies of this book to police officers I know and hope they pass it on to help save other officers.
