Hi Following NY Times article discusses upcoming issue of American Psychologist that focuses on failure to observe expected negative psychological consequences of Sept 11 attacks among large proportion of the population and negative findings for early intervention.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/29/health/research/29psych.html?src=recg It cites McNally, who earlier wrote about the limits of trauma debriefing and like early interventions. See McNally RJ, Bryant RA, Ehlers A. Does early psychological intervention promote recovery from posttraumatic stress disorder?. Psychological Science in the Public Interest 2003;4(2):45*79. I'm not sure "psychology's limits" is completely accurate given the scientific psychology literature on this issue. Perhaps "pop psychology's limits" would be better label? Take care Jim James M.
