The article gives a detailed description of the debriefing process evolved by two counselling psychologists who work with victims of armed hold‐ups. The process is seen in the contxt of literature relating to post‐trauma reactions and the type of interventions that are effective. The authors give details of their procedures and interventions, their reasons for using them, as well as considering broader issues of working within an organizational context.
