This book is meant to be informative and support those of us who work ”helping” others, as well as a call to parents, bosses or educators who relate to highly sensitive people. First of all we need to clarify that we all are sensitive, to a greater or lesser degree, but there is also a percentage of people who are highly sensitive, a factor that needs to be taken into consideration when educating, dealing and living together.The book is intended to make it easier for you to identify whether you possess the trait of high sensitivity, it is also essential to identify this trait in others since you could be a mother, father or brother of a highly sensitive person, or husband, teacher or co-worker.

What I am going to write here is exactly as I remember things. The most incredible story that has happened to me, and I have spent over thirty years in the Gendarmerie Nationale (French police), mind. Some people might think that I am exaggerating, but in order not to miss out any details I have based my account on my notebook, which I always carry with me when I am participating in any official police investigation. Although my current post at Interpol might seem important, especially after receiving two honorary decorations, the Medaille d`honneur de la Police Nationale (National Police Medal of Honour) and the Croix d`Honneur du Policier Européen (European Police Cross of Honour), despite that my beginnings were not entirely glorious.

Finally the time to end an intense day of work, full of annoyances has arrived. An actual marathon to complete my part in the gearbox that is the company in which I work, a company where it is impossible to stop without damaging the rest.I was collecting some papers from my office when I heard the familiar sound that the computer makes when I receive a new email. At those hours, I usually don't check them as I prefer to be fresh when I see them, and today had been an exhausting day. I'll see it tomorrow when I come back. Generally, I don't read them until the next morning, I don't even do it at home with the intention of separating my professional and personal life.

The night was dark. Suddenly, a great glow came through the window and such clarity flooded the room that woke me up. Amazed, I looked everywhere. What was going on? I rubbed my eyes and I really didn ́t know if I was still asleep and that was a dream.I sat up in bed. I had to see what was happening because I did not understand what had happened. Trying to wake up a bit, I put my feet on the floor and the coldness of the tiles ended up waking me up. I saw that I was in my bedroom and was still at night. Through the window, nothing could be seen, only darkness, not a single star in the sky could be seen. But in my head, still dazed, I remembered what had woken me up. Although I didn ́t know what it had been, a feeling came to my mind, something like a great light, or a glow, maybe it would be a flash light.

After the very positive reception to the article entitled "Cual es el papel del psicólogo ante el nuevo Coronavirus?" ("What is the role of psychology in the face of the new Coronavirus?") published in La Cátedra Abierta de Psicológia y Neurociencias on 12th February 2020, and the general interest evoked amongst fellow psychologists and other people with an interest in psychology, I have decided to produce this book, which addresses the subject of the psychological perspective in times of a pandemic. Despite the fact that information concerning health crises such as Coronavirus is very recent and in some cases quite changeable, I am going to present a work based on current data sourced principally from scientific publications, and which will include, from the same sources, statements from various experts. A book accessible to all those who wish to delve into the psychological aspects of a mass phenomenon in times of a health crisis, as in the case of Coronavirus.
