Abstract

Psychiatrists and psychologists have developed the psychological autopsy into a debriefing tool, as well as a learning tool. Use of the CISD has been an effective protocol to help police, fire, ambulance, emergency room, and ICU personnel cope with the effects of violence and trauma. Psychiatric nurses and ancillary personnel also face frequent exposure to violence and trauma. The psychiatric debriefing protocol offers a practical intervention.
