One of the critical challenges of today’s police officer is the safe and effective management of a person in crisis. A solid strategy for crisis intervention can mean the difference between life and death, not only for the officer, but the person in crisis. In The TEB Model: A New Approach to Crisis Assessment and Intervention, forensic psychologist and police officer Dr. John Azar-Dickens introduces a unique model designed to equip law enforcement and crisis responders with the tools they need to better understand these crisis situations with confidence and clarity.
Drawing from years of frontline experience and psychological expertise, Dr. Azar-Dickens presents a realistic and straightforward model of crisis assessment and intervention that enhances situational awareness, reduces risk, and fosters communication between responders and individuals in crisis. This model serves to maintain officer tactical awareness while addressing key elements of human functioning through an analysis of thought, emotion, and behavior. The book explains a model of crisis assessment that allows officers to quickly assess an individual based on their thought-emotion-behavior presentation, while also directing attention to key issues related to each unique profile. There is also a section devoted specifically to the police trainer and how this model can be used in police officer training.
