September 2005 Newsletter

In this issue you will find a new feature, "Who Wants to Know?", devoted to the questions our readers have sent us.  You'll also find a review of a new crisis negotiations book, an article on how mental health professionals can effectively provide training and assistance to law enforcement crisis intervention and hostage negotiation teams, and recommended readings for crisis intervenors.  One of the readings (the "Cultural Analysis of a Threat Communiqué") is not field-related, but we found it fascinating and thought you might too.
