Abstract
Crisis support was assessed over an 18-month period with survivors of the jupiter cruise ship disaster. It was found that the support receiv ed from family and friends decreased significantly over time. In addit ion, higher crisis support in the immediate aftermath was found to pre dict less post-traumatic symptomatology at a later period. The results are thought to have implications for the assessment and treatment of survivors at high risk of disturbance.
