Reviews

A hint at the wisdom and readability of this ambitious book can be found on its opening pages, in which the authors dedicate their work to those important individuals in our lives who have taught us about resilience, grace and gratitude . Using research culled from interviews with hundreds of police officers, paramedics, firefighters, and emergency mental health practitioners. In The Line of Fire presents a sober look at the work emergency responders do and the trauma-inducing situations they face. What sets this book apart from others I've seen on the subject is its understanding of the contextual nature of trauma. Lancet
