An article written by the Rev. Terryann Talbot-Moses, director of Altoona Regional Health System's Pastoral Care department, was published in the spring/summer 2006 issue of Trauma Response, a national publication of the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress. Her article chronicles the traumatic stress of a terminally ill patient.
The article demonstrates how Pastor Talbot-Moses used the 10-step Acute Traumatic Stress Model, as explained in the book Comprehensive Acute Traumatic Stress Management by Mark D. Lerner, Ph. D., and Raymond D. Shelton, Ph.D., to guide a woman through a spiritual crisis at the end of her life.
