Journal.
According to the book description of The New York Cop Doc Journal,
"Cop Doc Allan Cannon, a forensic psychologist, is accustomed to difficult
cases. However, his life is disrupted on multiple levels by a particularly
disturbing crime. With a police officer as the victim, Allan has a significant
part to play in the investigation. In the midst of the chaos, Allan meets a
mysterious, yet alluring, woman. Their relationship soon takes a dark and
obsessive turn, and Allan is forced to consider how well he truly knows her. Cop
Doc Allan's journal is a place for him to chronicle the turbulence of the mind
of a homicide suspect and the prosecutor who is out to nail him. Dr. Cannon's
investigation into the criminal mind sheds light that echoes out from the dark
mirror of justice beyond the cliché that what is transparent is evident."
According to the book description of Dealing With the Mentally Ill Person
on the Street: An Assessment and Intervention Guide for Public Safety
Professionals, "This unique guide will serve as a street survival guide
for public safety officers and supervisors alike. The author, Doctor Daniel
Rudofossi, a sworn police officer and police psychologist in the NYPD and DEA
among other agencies, offers a thorough assessment and intervention guide for
clinicians and public safety professionals in dealing with mentally ill persons.
Using his technique, the Eco-Ethological Existential Analytic method, he
presents an original approach toward compassionate and safe interventions with
mentally ill citizens who become involved with public safety officers. It will
open the doors to an effective and highly meaningful guide officers can put into
practice immediately, so that officers and supervisors can maximize the outcome
of safe and effective humane processing of mentally ill with the potential for
violence. Case examples and question-and-answer sections are also provided that
offer user-friendly guidelines for ensuring custody to rehabilitation of the
mentally ill street person. The guide also provides information on how to gain
self-care and referral to peers when the stressors of dealing with the mentally
ill start to increase to burnout and 'compassion fatigue' in first responders
and mental health counselors. It will also provide a wide overview as well as
in-depth coverage of the evolving specialty of police psychology. The book will
prove to be an invaluable resource for a wide audience of professional police
officers, emergency medical technicians, firefighters, military guard, public
and private security, criminal justice practitioners, counselors, social workers
and others in responding to such crises. From triage through the police
custodial role to outreach and cooperation with local and community mental
health clinics, the approaches offered in this book will lead to the best of all
possible outcomes."
According to the book description of A Cop Doc's Guide to Public Safety
Complex Trauma Syndrome: Using Five Police Personality Styles it “is written in response to the need for
an advanced, specialized guide for clinicians to operationally define, understand, and responsibly treat complex post-traumatic
stress and grief syndromes in the context of the unique varieties of police personality styles. The book continues where Rudofossi's
first book, Working with Traumatized Police Officer Patients left off. Theory is wed to practice and practice to effective
interventions with police officer-patients. The 'how' and 'why' of a clinician's approach is made highly effective by understanding
the distinct personality styles of officer-patients. Rudofossi's theoretical approach segues into difficult examples that
highlight each officer-patient's eco-ethological field experience of loss in trauma, with a focus on enhancing resilience
and motivation to - otherwise left disenfranchised. Thus, this original work expands the ecological-ethological existential
analysis of complex PTSD into the context of personality styles, with an emphasis on resilience - without ignoring the pathological
aspects of loss that often envelop officer-patient trauma syndromes.
Charles Brenner, M.D., Past President, American Psychoanalytic Association said
of A Cop Doc's Guide to Public Safety Complex Trauma Syndrome: Using Five Police Personality Styles,
“Professor Rudofossi is a recognized authority on the psychological diagnosis and treatment of persons whose employment
regularly exposes them and their fellow workers to the risk of death or physical injury. This volume continues the high level
of both practical and theoretical information found in his previous writings. The wealth of clinical examples is particularly
impressive. It is a book that should be read by everyone who has responsibility for the psychological welfare of firefighters,
police, and other security personnel.”
Thomas Creelman, M.A., CEAP, Employee Assistance Program Coordinator, New York
State Office of the Attorney General said of A Cop Doc's Guide to Public Safety Complex Trauma Syndrome: Using
Five Police Personality Styles, “Once again, in this sequel to his earlier book on traumatized police
officers, Dr. Rudofossi has blended theoretical and practical applications of psychology and law enforcement. His approach
of identifying the five varieties of public safety personality styles provides critical information for both mental health
practitioners working with law enforcement personnel and law enforcement managers. This is an excellent book that should be
read by all who work with, or are interested in, law enforcement officers!”
