Dalla quarta di copertina

Kudos to Dr. Dan Rudofossi on his newest book, A Cop Doc's Guide to Understanding Terrorism as Human Evil. Dr. Dan, aka Cop Doc, has captured the essentials of what America's first responders need, as law enforcement officers, firefighters, ER RNs, medics/EMT professionals, and all others involved in protecting and serving the public. This is not a book written by a doctor for only doctors. As first responders, we are a community that interacts and works with the general public when people are traumatized and grief stricken. Nowhere is it truly understood by the media, the politicians, and the general public that, after we are engaged in these circumstances, we carry the baggage of the after-effects of our experiences.Dr. Dan addresses these issues and appeals to all readers on the importance of understanding these after-effects of threatened as well as actual terrorism. He was an active street cop and police sergeant in Brooklyn North NYPD in the late 1980s and 1990s who became a Cop Doc to give back to the community he so loves and respects. It takes a certain type of individual to take on the mission of being a first responder. Dr. Dan has found a way to help these officers and emergency workers better understand what they are going through as complex trauma and grief syndromes. Dr. Dan's work, though not politically correct, is truthful, and it offers the street officer and ranking supervisor an honest approach to terrorism and, in his intervention model, some solutions, including how to embrace “It” for maximum healing and effectiveness.This book should be mandatory reading for everyone, from recruits and professionals in police, fire, medical, and military services to all civilians who are interested in the truth about what our first responders need. It can be thought of as a survivor's guide for those who understand that the war on terrorism includes every decent citizen.” —Chief Robert W. Basso, President, New Jersey/New York Detectives' Crime Clinic, Major, New York Guard “Dr. Dan's A Cop Doc's Guide to Understanding Terrorism as Human Evil could not be more timely and is a “must read” for all of us who are criminal justice professionals, department administrators, police, firefighters, and EMTs, and our loved ones, and for the mental health practitioners who seek to support us. In addition to the job-related stressors and trauma we cope with on the street, and which Dr. Dan has addressed in his prior publications, our natural and departmental families (read 'supports') now face the overseas deployment of a significant number of our brothers and sisters, our veteran officer corps, as members of the Guard and Reserves.Departments vary in the extent to which policies and personnel are in place to maintain relationships with family members and deployed officers. Families need to have an awareness of and access to liaison personnel for issues that may develop. Deployed officers need to know that their loved ones have ongoing support, and that they themselves continue to be valued by their employer back home. Also included in this population are Federal Agents who, in the course of their duties, may deploy in conjunction with specialized military units for purposes of intelligence or interdiction activities. Family members may or may not have anticipated such duty and may or may not feel connected to their community or have access to family supports, depending on their time in residence. On their return, as we might anticipate, all vets face issues of adjustment to familial relationships, the workplace, and the community at large. Once again, as cops, we face additional adjustments (read 'stressors'). We are expected to don a uniform we have not worn for a period of time, re-arm and re-qualify, and take to the streets to police within the parameters of civilian 'rules of engagement.' Raised in a law enforcement family and with a 43-year history as both a sworn SWAT-trained patrol officer and a licensed mental health professional, I find myself continuing to seek to expand both my knowledge base and my collegial support system as we attempt to assist our brothers and sisters, and their natural as well as their departmental families. It is in this context that I have come to know and respect Dr. Rudofossi as a colleague, friend, and mentor. I am privileged to serve as a Regional Clinician-Consultant to the DEA Employee Assistance Program. I served under the direction of Dr. Dan during his tenure as the Administrative Police Psychologist for this organization. On more than one occasion, this is the Cop Doc I have reached out to for his knowledge, experience, and, most important, his support. Our conversations often would start with the question, 'Hey Doc, do you have a minute?' Dr. Dan always found the time. This is one outstanding clinician, instructor, and author, whose blood is and always will be NYPD blue.” —John J.
