Reviews " CopShock helps active duty and retired officers and their loved ones understand the effects of exposure to repeated violence and tragedy." "At last, someone has written a. work on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder that the cop in the street will identify with. Police chiefs and ranking officers should use this book as a guide for dealing with traumatized cops under their command." " CopShock offers solutions on how to prevent or manage PTSD symptoms. The author helps officers and their families understand PTSD's devastating effect on their lives." "Highly recommended by leaders in the field, this book should be in every chaplain's library." "This is an excellent book." "A novelist's way with words, each account reads like a short story. Police and corrections officers and others who work in emergency services or the military-and their families-will find this book exceedingly helpful." "The book is not just great for cops. but for family, friends and people who love the men and women who face the daily rigors of police work." "A tremendous book. A book I recommend that any police officer read because it offers insight into the lives of law enforcement officers." "The reporting is impartial and objective, quick and easy to read. The book presents solid ideas of how to cope or where to go for help. The book should be required reading at all of the academies." "The fruit of extensive research...jargon-free...filled with gripping stories." "It gives insurmountable insight on the stresses that impact officers daily. This is a must read book for all." " CopShock should become required reading for every member of every police department. The book can be as meaningful as a bulletproof vest, because PTSD is a greater cop killer than all the guns ever fired at police officers." "Allen Kates is one of the first to dramatically expose the stresses on some of the most important people in our society: police officers. We need to take better care of police officers." " CopShock is a powerful book! I was glued to each story. They are all real." "Groundbreaking material. This is a very stimulating book, eloquent and disturbing." "Allen Kates has done a real service for cops. His stories are compelling." "I only wish that my Vietnam veteran/police officer clients and their families had had this book sooner. We could have cut to the chase and gotten on with the work of healing." "We didn't ask for PTSD, but we can ask for a copy of this book for better understanding." " CopShock is a book that cries out to be heard. I would recommend this book to everyone in a police marriage or those soon to be involved in the police family." " CopShock tells it like it is. The thin blue line is not merely breaking, it is disintegrating. We can do something, and CopShock is a beginning for those who care about cops." " CopShock is not only a great survival book for police officers who have survived critical incidents, but it also explains the dysfunction to the family members who bear the brunt of the abuse and other problems." "I found myself sitting on the living room floor with a highlighter making notes as I read. It was like looking in a mirror. Excellent source listing for police and emergency service workers in need of help for everything from PTSD to alcohol dependency and drug addiction." "The book CopShock has saved my life. It's written in a similar manner as the AA Book or the Al-anon Book, the sharing of experiences, strengths and hopes." " CopShock is an important book that should be read by every police officer. It's a well-written and informative work that. reveals how (police officers) took the right steps to begin healing. It also lists dozens of places where an officer can seek help. I highly recommend it." "(The author's) insight into the day to day trauma of police work and its cumulative effect on every aspect of your life is nothing less than life saving. This book will be extremely valuable to our peer support members. "Allen Kates has put together a magnificent work on the dangers of subsequent shock from traumatic incidents. If you go into harm's way, you should read this book." |
