ABSTRACT
A comprehensive treatment programme for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD] using the technique of "debriefing" is presented. "Debriefing" attempts to prevent the development of the initial response pattern of the individual to "symptoms" and then into a "disorder". The individual usually perceives their "experience" following the traumatic event as "abnormal reactions", and in debriefing, this is reframed as "normal reactions" to an abnormal event. The emphasis on the reactions as normal, prevents cognitive re-appraisal of oneself as abnormal when they experience the symptoms. The primary aim is to reduce the negative impact of the event and to speed up the recovery process
