The aftermath of the 9/11 attack called forth the professional contributions of consulting psychologists to a degree unprecedented in our lifetimes. Task-oriented teams of mental health professionals were formed from volunteer clinicians and deployed to multiple sites within the rescue and recovery effort.
Several of these efforts are documented here:
