This is a soft covered book measuring 7 inches by 10 inches and has 305 pages. It is a Fire Engineering Books & Videos publication. It is a masterpiece that should be read by ALL firefighters. The author is a licensed clinical professional counselor with special training in pediatric death and post traumatic stress disorder and is a certified alcohol and drug abuse counselor who currently works with first responders in private practice. She has a love for first responders as attested to in the introduction. There is a 16 page bibliography and three pages of acknowledgments. She has help from a multitude of professionals to provide 20 chapters of expert advice. For instance the first chapter outlines seven kinds of wellness .and what it means to be emotionally well. Later there is a chapter solely dedicated to PTSD. There is literally nothing left to the imagination that this book hasn’t covered. This column does not have enough allotted room to go into detail about the value of what is covered but all is for the betterment and health of firefighters and first responders of all kinds which also promotes more efficiency and professionalism. It is well worth the price even if one has to save up to get it. It is another great book from Fire Engineering.
