The OSC asked the negotiator why he thought there was an imminent risk of suicide/homicide? The answer was, “We’ve felt that was the case all along but when we asked the bad guy’s partner what he thought of the suicide potential, he said that he thought it was high. There is no doubt about it.” Both the negotiator and the actor’s partner were right, but, it serves negotiators well to be able to articulate their reasons for an assault more clearly than “we felt that way all along” or “the bad guy’s partner said so.” It is in negotiators best interest to be able to articulate their risk assessment so the commander understands the assessment and so he or she can articulate the evaluation in any litigation that may follow the incident.","PeriodicalId":89175,"journal":{"name":"Journal of police crisis negotiations : an international journal","volume":"7 1","pages":"131 - 136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J173v07n02_09","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66938308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the present purposes, a crisis may be understood to mean a certain point in the trajectory of an event at which the future course of the matter is determined. A crisis represents an opportunity for intervention, a moment at which the outcome, for good or ill, might be influenced. A crisis, whatever its character or context, mostly raises an issue of choice. Nevertheless, some crises are autonomous in the sense that they have the potential to resolve themselves after their own fashion regardless of the exercise of whatever choices","PeriodicalId":89175,"journal":{"name":"Journal of police crisis negotiations : an international journal","volume":"7 1","pages":"28 - 5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J173v07n02_02","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66938333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Timothy Gallwey wrote The Inner Game of Tennis in 1974 (NY: Random House). It was revised in 1997 and details imagery and psychological techniques to improve performance and to deal with the pressure and stress of performing. Mental rehearsal is also well known in other sports and in martial arts. By mentally rehearsing techniques a “muscle memory” can be developed much like what occurs with physical practice. Recent research has demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach using stroke victims. Damage to the primary motor area of the cerebral cortex was addressed via traditional post-stroke rehabilitation techniques as well as using motor imagery training. The conclusion was, “ . . . motor imagery may provide a valuable tool to access the motor network and improve outcome after stroke” (Sharma, N., Pomeroy, V.M., Baron, J.C.: Motor Imagery A back door to the motor system after stroke?, Stroke. 2006:37:1941, American Heart Asso-","PeriodicalId":89175,"journal":{"name":"Journal of police crisis negotiations : an international journal","volume":"7 1","pages":"141 - 143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J173v07n02_11","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66938379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of course, the government of this hypothetical country was not willing to comply with either demand.
