The suicide rate of police officres is twice that of the general population, a fact that lends credibility to Allen R. Kates's speculation that a third of the nation's police force suffers from 'copshock'. In Copshock: Suriviving Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Kates helps police officers identify, manage and prevent the symptoms of PTSD, which include nightmares, flashbacks and uncontrollable anger. The fruit of extensive research, Kates's jargon-free book is filled with gripping stories and contains an impressive index of more than 200 support sources for officers and their families.Book Details
