Survivor guilt. The issue of guilt in those who survive a terrorist attack appears in some reports ... This seems to be part of meaning-making, so the person not only wonders why they were a victim but also why they survived while others were injured or died. ... Workers need to help victims of terrorism understand that survivor guilt is not an uncommon reaction. Furthermore, you can help victims make sense of the attack, its impact on their life and get them to incorporate that knowledge into a future focus. Obviously, if this reaction is causing much distress, a referral to a mental health professional may also be helpful. 1, record 1, English, - survivor%20guilt

Culpabilité du survivant. Certains auteurs [...] font état d'un sentiment de culpabilité chez les personnes qui survivent à un attentat terroriste. Cela semble faire partie de la réflexion sur la recherche de la signification dans le cadre de laquelle la personne se demande non seulement pourquoi elle est une victime, mais aussi pourquoi elle a survécu alors que d'autres ont été blessées ou sont décédées. [...] Les intervenants doivent aider les victimes du terrorisme à comprendre que le sentiment de culpabilité du survivant n'est pas une réaction rare. De plus, vous pouvez aider les victimes à saisir la signification de l'attentat et de son incidence sur leur vie et les amener à se servir de ces connaissances pour faire une projection dans l'avenir. De toute évidence, si cette réaction cause beaucoup de détresse, il peut aussi être utile de diriger le client vers un spécialiste de la santé mentale. 1, record 1, French, - culpabilit%C3%A9%20du%20survivant
