THE GIFT OF FEAR
Survival Signals that Protect Us from Violence
Gavin De Becker
Little, Brown, 1997
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After reading this book, the reader will be familiar with the process by which intuition assembles cues to danger and its application in situations of stranger violence, understanding threats, dealing with people who refuse to let go, violence in the workplace, domestic violence, violent children, and attacks against public figures.
This book presents evidence that fear can signal the presence of true danger and that this can be discriminated from anxiety. These principles have been used to develop the assessment system now used for screening threats to justices of the U.S. Supreme Court and in consulting to the U.S. Marshals Service, the Federal Reserve Board, the Central Intelligence Agency, prosecutors, battered women's shelters, corporations, and celebrities.
Gavin De Becker is a three-time presidential appointee who consults on predicting violence. He has testified before many legislative bodies and has successfully proposed new laws to help manage violence.
