The psychological aftermath of disaster causes significant long-term psychiatric disability and suffering to victims and rescuers alike. This paper examines the effectiveness of psychological debriefing (PD), an early intervention that is widely used and claimed to reduce long-term psychiatric morbidity in the wake of disaster. Numerous factors hamper the design of methodologically sound research in this field and there is a lack of controlled studies supporting the efficacy of PD. Further research is needed to demonstrate the effectiveness of any immediate psychological intervention before significant resources are allocated to their routine provision.
灾难造成的心理影响会给受害者和救援人员带来严重的长期精神残疾和痛苦。本文探讨了心理疏导（PD）的有效性，这是一种广泛应用的早期干预措施，据称可减少灾难后的长期精神疾病发病率。众多因素阻碍了该领域方法学上合理的研究设计，且缺乏支持心理疏导有效性的对照研究。在将大量资源用于常规提供任何即时心理干预之前，还需要进一步研究来证明其有效性。
