  • Summary

    This chapter brings a very thoughtful appraisal of the significance of debriefing for different groups of personnel. The model presented here is based on extensive traumatic stress research and experience and appraisal of the use of supportive and preventive interventions in disaster and trauma situations. The chapter focuses on the potential value of what is called group stress debriefing (GSD) for professional rescue and emergency response teams, who are trained and mobilized. The way GSD is to be carried out depends on the pre-existing group structure, the group's level of professionalism and competence, its level of preparedness for the task-related event in question, and under what conditions the GSD is to be implemented. The different group levels are: group level 1: the professional team; group level 2: the reserve team; group level 3: natural groups; group level 4: random groups; and group level 5: victims groups.
