Protecting Mind, Spirit

6/14/2017
Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, a retired Army Ranger and former professor of psychology, writes and teaches about the toll of violence and violent crime on law enforcement, soldiers, and others. He will present on the topic, Bulletproof Mind, at OPOTA Richfield.

Grossman's training objective is to “do for the mind and spirit, what body armor does for the torso.” His presentation will include topics such as psychological and physiological manifestations of violent confrontation; overcoming the resistance to employ lethal force; and the cause and effect of violence throughout the world.

In On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace, Grossman details what happens in the human body during deadly confrontations and discusses how to train to survive and overcome. Presentation attendees will receive a copy of the book.
