Threat: Diagnosis and Treatment Options - Handbook for Families Facing Threats or Physical Violence

Threats have a powerful effect on peace-loving folks. Fear can become so intense that it is disabling when someone is face-to-face with attackers, unless a deliberate plan of defense and active resistance is in place. The family needs to be pro-active. Questions such as, "Who might be a threat?", and "What might they try to do to us?", and "What must we do to protect ourselves and our property from harm?", must be addressed. Taking lawful moves to fully stop attacks involves serious planning and practice. There may be changes necessary in the daily activities to avoid becoming an easy target. Aggressive responses to physical attacks may require agility, but people with limitations can still develop very effective defenses. By using this book and going beyond to seek professional counsel the family will be better equipped to not only survive but to be victors over unlawful criminal activities.
