I LOVE A COP: WHAT POLICE FAMILIES NEED TO KNOW
DR. ELLEN KIRSCHMAN
[https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/experts/ellen-kirschman-phd] a
clinical psychologist specializing in police and public safety
psychology and the author of three non-fiction books and a
semi-autobiographical mystery series told from the perspective of
police psychologist, Dr. Dot Meyerhoff, who is too dedicated for her
own good and should be counseling cops, not solving crimes.
I belong to a lot of organizations, too many in fact: The
International Association of Chiefs of Police (psychological services
sub-section), The American Psychological Association,
Sisters-in-Crime, The Public Safety Writers Association, and Mystery
Writers of America. I'm the recipient of the California Psychological
Association's 2014 award for distinguished contribution to psychology
as well as the American Psychological Association's 2010 award for
outstanding contribution to the practice of police and public safety
psychology.
When I'm not writing (hardly ever) or going to conferences, I travel
world-wide giving workshops for police families, teaching self-care to
cops, training peer supporters, and helping clinicians become
culturally competent to treat first responders. I volunteer as a
clinician for The First Responders Support Network (FRSN.org), an
organization holding six-day retreats for first responders with
post-traumatic stress injuries and for their significant others and
spouses.
I live in Northern California with my husband, the photographer, S.
Hollis Johnson. I don't have a lot of hobbies, unless you count
exercise to stay healthy as a hobby. I read widely and always have a
book in hand, even going from the bedroom to the kitchen. I dabble in
cooking although my husband prepares most of our meals. I love to
travel and to stay sane I regularly attend the Insight Meditation
Center. Please visit my website where you can sign up for my
occasional but always informative newsletter.
