From DrKoop's partner site on anxiety, AnxietyConnection.com
PTSD Prevention Counseling and crisis intervention soon after the event are important for people who have experienced extremely stressful situations. They could help prevent longer-term forms of PTSD and should be part of public health responses to groups at risk, such as disaster victims.
