moreIt was a humid summer day when Stan, a Vietnam veteran hero, walked into a small clothing store with a fully loaded semiautomatic rifle. He instructed everyone in the store to take cover, and then began firing wildly into the ceiling. He soon surrendered to the police without ever threatening or hurting anyone. Upon questioning, Stan related a story of his adventures in Vietnam, about a teenage Vietnamese girl that came running toward him while he paused for a cigarette on a country road.

The image of this scene had repeatedly been relived in frightening waking dreams. Stan was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The purpose of this research is to examine the

Jack Porter, writing in the Bulka edited issue of The Journal of Psychology and Judaism, writes: ''Before the outbreak of World War II, there were about 8.8 million Jews living in Europe. Approximately
