John Durkin, Ph.D. Biography
Dr. Durkin is a psychologist specialising in crisis intervention and posttraumatic growth. As a firefighter in the UK he coped well until injury and the suicides of two colleagues changed his outlook and inspired an academic career to seek ways to prevent suicide in firefighters. He started with CISM and studies attracted him to then consider the conditions necessary for posttraumatic growth. HIs training in CISM brought an invitation to work in post-9/11 New York with its fire and police departments. In the UK he sat on the national advisory committee for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the UK and gained evidence-based status for critical incident stress debriefing (CISD) at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in the USA. He is a Board member at the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (ICISF) where he is an Approved Instructor, and sits on the Committee of Management of Crisis Intervention and Management, Australasia (CIMA). He is the first President of the European Critical Incident Stress Management (E-CISM) Network based in Switzerland.
