Trauma and Resilience in Contemporary Australian Policing

Bag om Trauma and Resilience in Contemporary Australian Policing

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 traumäoutside 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 reinterpretsexposure in a positive context, as well as preventative experiences in Australia and internationally.
