Abstract

Provides a preliminary model for preventive local school psychological service (SPS) intervention in an extreme emergency. Following a terrorist attack on an Israeli town's neighborhood, the local SPS reorganized its staff to make its service available to the neighborhood schools, using the primary prevention and the secondary prevention models. The implementation of these models' principles is demonstrated, basic emergency issues facing the mental-health agent are delineated, and selection of specific techniques under explicit stress conditions is described.
