title: Post-traumatic stress disorder. A student nurse's personal experience of terror.
abstract: 1. Clients feel relieved when they have a label for what "ails" them. 2. Following vicitimization of one's self, exposure to a second traumatic event can trigger a reexperiencing of the original trauma. 3. Resolution of the trauma requires that the victim be able to formulate an explanation (supply meaning) as to why it occurred.
