“Wounded Workers” from Working Man's Press is Dr. Bob Larsen’s first book intended for an audience of folks who have worked or are still working. It takes readers to the inner sanctum of a psychiatrist’s notes, never seen before! This book honoring workers might be the perfect gift from employers to their staff on March 5, designated as “Employee Appreciation Day.”
The book recounts the compelling stories of America’s workforce subjected to physical and psychological trauma for doing their jobs. The book relates tales from the trenches, of workers tormented by ill fortune, both natural and man-made. A bank teller robbed one too many times, a paramedic who cannot save his own father’s life, a prostitute who becomes an advocate for sex workers and other unfortunate employees who find themselves sent to this author-psychiatrist for rescue. Readers will be exposed to stories of workers subjected to shootings, amputations, sexual assaults, and healthcare-induced disability. You will relate to the plight, courage and persistence of victims who could be your neighbor, friend, family member or co-worker. You will be glued to the couch while turning pages. Dr. Bob Larsen’s own personal journey as a working-class kid who becomes a scientist, physician and professor is intertwined with the dynamics of victimization, recovery, and advocacy.
