This book summarizes the results of an extensive study and answers the following questions:

• What can be experienced as a stressful situation?
• What exactly does "stress" mean in this context?
• And what are helpful support options?
• What is a "debriefing"? How should it be structured and conducted?

It clarifies the difference from other counseling formats, distinguishes it from therapy, and describes how people can emerge stronger from a stressful experience.
