Abstract

Initially designed as part of the prevention of post-traumatic stress disorder, we used the Memory Structuring Intervention (MSI) method, one of the most recent Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies, in the management of the state of acute stress. To assess its effectiveness in this context of acute stress, we used a repeated measurement technique to compare the averages. The results show that this technique has a significantly positive effect on the management of the symptoms of the state of acute stress.
