The Violent Person - Paperback

by Raymond B. Flannery (Author)

In recent years we've seen an unacceptable increase in human-inflicted violence. People going berserk, seemingly out of nowhere, and (only on the surface) for no reason. The hideous images are seared into our memory. Tragically, health-care workers on the front lines are not immune. In their daily work they have been victims of homicides, hostage-takings, robberies, physical and sexual assaults, and psychological trauma of all kinds. The Violent Person is for these individuals, a jargon-free examination by one of the foremost experts in the world on PTSD.
