The work elaborated by Adrian Prisăcaru entitled Psychosociology. Psychobehavioral reactions of the population in extreme situations. Coping and control strategies, represents a special contribution to the enrichment of the theoretical and practical heritage of Romanian psychology. The work is the fruit of the author's personal effort from a theoretical and practical activity of over three decades, proposing a reading key that allows understanding crisis situations with a major impact on the population. Considering that nowadays various events frequently occur, some of them traumatic, such as terrorist attacks, wars, aviation disasters, traffic accidents, extensive fires, earthquakes, floods and many others, called critical incidents, the author also brings to attention various specific psychological intervention techniques/strategies for such situations.
The paper approaches with originality an important issue of applied psychology in the field of specialized intervention, especially in situations of psychological crisis, offering solutions focused with a predilection on the management of psychological manifestations related to stress and traumatic events, those specific to suicidal crisis, mourning situations, through the prism of techniques, such as, for example, Psychological First Aid. The paper is structured in 8 chapters, and each chapter contains a theoretical substantiation part, which is accompanied by concrete practical examples, thus facilitating the understanding of the management of the aforementioned situations.
The paper is well structured, clearly approaches and brings arguments in favor of understanding the role and functioning of some psychological mechanisms and processes, so that we can understand why some people who, without their will, are involved in various critical incidents easily overcome the incident as if nothing had happened, but also the situation of many people who are affected and need long-term specialized support to remain functional. The question thus arises, do these people not have functional psychological mechanisms and processes that contribute to the spontaneous remission of dysfunctional psychological manifestations? Therefore, the paper represents a source of information, as well as an important landmark, both for young practitioners and for psychologists with long experience who want to get involved in crisis psychology.
The work Psychosociology. Psychobehavioral reactions of the population in extreme situations. Coping and control strategies has a clear approach, with pertinent arguments for each chapter, and in this way the author manages to provide both a theoretical guide, but especially an applicative one of good practices for psychologists in terms of managing stress-related manifestations and traumatic events specific to critical incidents.
