Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Power, organisational and police culture, "the job" -- Chapter 3. The Feminisation of policing -- Chapter 4. Death and bodies -- Chapter 5. Keeping well, Coping.-Chapter 6. Asking for help -- Chapter 7. Sleep, "The elixir of resilience" -- Chapter 8. Resilience -- Chapter 9. PTSD and policing -- Chapter 10. Posttraumatic growth in Policing -- Chapter 11. Conclusion: Resilience among police in South Australia.

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 trauma--outside 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 reinterprets exposure in a positive context, as well as preventative experiences in Australia and internationally.
