Course Description
The relationship between expectations for police work held by police candidates and the reality of the job has a profound negative impact on their psychological resilience and on the eventual development of job-related psychological problems. These include post-traumatic embitterment disorder (PTED); a low level of purpose-in-life (Frankl) and related issues that negatively impact functioning. /This presentation will show the causes for these issues and suggested solutions.
