This chapter explains that debriefing should sit in the spectrum of response to those who have suffered severe psychologically traumatic experiences. The practice of debriefing has received substantial attention during the last two decades. The chapter attempts to contribute to the survival of debriefing by arguing that the interventions should not be viewed as treatment for trauma but rather as stress management techniques. Debriefing would often occur during a period of ongoing traumatization. Therapeutic flexibility has been wisely recommended for interventions conducted at the early stages of the response to trauma. Historical group debriefing (HGD) would combine aspects of institutional fact-finding debriefing with psychological understanding of human performance under stress. Finally, the chapter presents a study of debriefing in military units in support of the argument that simple reconstruction of a group narrative is sufficient to effectively reduce anxiety in recently exposed combat soldiers.
