ABSTRACT
Since the Twin Towers attack, (9/11), the possibility that large groups of people might be adversely affected psychologically by being somehow involved in life-threatening, traumatic situations is becoming more and more publicly recognized. Unfortunately trauma victimization is nothing like a new phenomenon and 9/11 only served to dramatically highlight the problems that such unfortunates have been facing for many years. Among the better-known dramatic incidents are Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma, the Pakistan Earthquake and many, many similar events such as the tragedy at Virginia Tech in the spring of 2007.
