Psychological First Aid and the Good Samaritan
$14.36
Description
Different from those indispensable American Red Cross First Aid books that clearly assist in quickly diagnosing and treating the physically injured, “weird” mental behaviors are frightening to bystanders, most of whom tend to avoid trying to understand dangerous behavioral peculiarities that will never happen to them–they hope. So, how can one safely and effectively help those unpredictable “crazies”? It took the author fifty years of experiential deliberations before writing this book that clearly addresses such bystander concerns as identifying common early symptoms of future mass killers of innocents. In fact, the endless assortment of bystanders in any community are typically the most vital “first responders” to notice disruptive behaviors, with an indispensable asset of alerting any professional team responding to a 911 call. Finally, the very essence of this book is understanding other humans; which begins by simply observing behaviors, not just people. These observations of human behavior clearly include developing adolescents who are too often precursors of high violence potential symptoms that may result in mass killings–if untreated. More specifically, this book will teach you the following: Becoming a Good Samaritan. Recognizing your own limitations in helping others. How to assess bizarre behavior. Knowing when to help and when to run. Intervention strategies. Second aid for friends and relatives. The mental health dilemma in the U.S.
