Critical Incident Stress Information
A crisis is any serious interruption in the steady state of equilibrium of a person, family or group. An emotionally significant event that acts as turning point for better or worse. (Mitchell, Ph.D and Resnic, MD. 1981) trauma calls into question basic human relationships. It breaches attachment of family, friendship, love and community. It shatters the construction of the self that is formed and sustained in relation to others. It under-mines the belief systems that give meaning to human experience. it violates the victims faith in a natural or divine order and casts the victim into a state of existential crisis. (Judith Herman, MD. Trauma and Recovery, 1992)
