ABSTRACT
The September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center brought about a vast and completely unprecedented level of impact on the United States. Approximately 3,000 lives were lost as a direct result of the attack, and the number of individuals affected emotionally and financially was enormous and incalculable. In addition to those who lost their lives or were injured, tens of thousands of individuals witnessed the events and aftermath directly, provided rescue relief, lost friends and/or family, lost their homes and/or lost their livelihoods.
