Death Work

"This book reveals patterns of psychological transformation and social consequences of police encounters with death. Henry identifies five common themes that define the psychological landscape of survivors, including psychic numbing, the death imprint image, suspicion of counterfeit nurturance, death guilt, and the quest to make meaning. Henry's rigorous research methods, in conjunction with the unique insights that come from his personal experience as an officer, have resulted in a comprehensive and highly textured interpretation of police psychology and police behavior. With a foreword by Robert Jay Lifton and a chapter devoted to the local police response to the World Trade Center attacks, Death Work will be of interest not only to psychologists and criminal justice experts but also to police officers eager to gain insight into their unique relationship to death."--Jacket.
