Survival Stress Management through Mental Skills Training in Law Enforcement
Abstract
Survival stress is the extreme type of operational stress felt by law enforcement personnel in situations involving the risk of being killed or injured, which has outstanding negative effects on performance. The present study aims to emphasise the importance of using mental skills training to manage this type of stress. The study also argues the need to implement a research direction to identify the most effective methods of mental conditioning to address law enforcement critical incidents.
