A Cop Doc's Guide to Understanding Terrorism as Human Evil: Healing from Complex Trauma Syndromes for Military, Police, and Public Safety Officers and Their Families (Death, Value, and Meaning)

A Cop Doc s Guide to Understanding Terrorism as Human Evil: Healing from Complex Trauma Syndromes for Military, Police, and Public Safety Officers and Their Families is a groundbreaking guide that shatters the myth that military, police, and public safety officers are automatons that follow orders blindly. The title captures the essence of the text. It offers a self-help guide in two ways. First, it describes the terror that engulfs the most brave, courageous, and often humane officer caught in a tragic moment: a tragic moment with very tough choices to make, on the border between life and death. Secondly, the guide addresses the impact of Media, academia, and even social circles that could support officers and their families, if only the reality were known outside the inner circles but are so politicized that they are not. The reality of decisions that are made in microseconds are usually presented through the lenses of distortions : Distortions that are either idealizing or attacking incredible acts of heroism. The result is often a crumbling of the real-deal soul of the individual officer. Dr. Dan shows how to pull out the hidden courage, commitment, empathy, and wisdom intuitively from the frontline warriors who are directly at war with terrorism. Credibility is everything in police, public safety, and military culture. This guide is endorsed by the practitioners and field combat warriors who are neither pathologizing nor offering a feel-good approach, but know who is speaking the real deal as it truly is! The Foreword is written by national hero and Pulitzer Prize nominee Lt. Col. David Grossman; the Preface is by world hero and author, leader of Mission Black Hawk Down, Col. Daniel McKnight. This is a survivors guide to the war on terrorism. Cop Doc Denny and Cop Doc Antoon Leenars, Captain Sosnowik of NYPD, and DEA Intelligence Specialist Barr Soltis are some of those who have read the theory and treatment developed by Dr. Rudofossi and strongly support and use it in their niches of counter-terrorism, from education to the battlefields, leadership seminars, and the warm havens of Cop Doc and Military Doc Clinics.
