Abstract

Older Americans who have lived through several national tragedies have been found to experience a variety of reactions to 9/11. While several studies have examined the symptomatology of seniors, the authors examined some of their reactions to 9/11 and derived several practice guidelines to assist healthcare professions working with the elderly around issues of trauma.
