Debriefing the debriefers: An intervention strategy to assist psychologists after a crisis

This article looks at the stresses inherent in crisis intervention work in general, and on the effects on psychologists in particular. The authors review debriefing strategies currently used and argue that the needs of psychologists differ from those of other crisis interveners such as police or ambulance workers. They present a debriefing strategy that takes into account the psychologist's need for psychological understanding and integration.
