This book examines how fifty police officers in South Australia
keep well and "bounce back" from duty-related traumatic experience
in the absence of practical, accessible and timely organisational
support. It investigates mechanisms police officers presently use
to "normalise" their duty-related traumatic experiences to preserve
the delicate professional balance between "coping" and "psychic
numbing" and avoid the much publicised perils of a PTSD diagnosis,
while being appropriately responsive to colleagues, victims and
survivors in their daily work environment. By revealing how police
officers manage trauma-outside of the expectations of mental health
professionals, union representatives and police
leadership-innovative approaches and recommendations are offered to
support first responders in moving from assumptions of
post-traumatic stress and through post-traumatic growth. The book
considers recent advances in post-traumatic growth and resilience
theory and reinterprets exposure in a positive context, as well as
preventative experiences in Australia and internationally.
