Critical incident stress debriefing (CISD): a meta-analysis

G S Everly Jr et al. Int J Emerg Ment Health. 1999 Summer.

Abstract

Psychological debriefings represent a genre of group crisis interventions. Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) represents the oldest standardized variation of this genre. Recent reviews have called into question the effectiveness of CISD. In this study 5 previously published investigations were meta-analyzed revealing a large effect size (Cohen's d = .86) supporting the notion that the CISD model of psychological debriefing is an effective crisis intervention.
