Abstract

The article shows from my point of view as a trauma-therapist and coordinator of the psychological rehabilitation project at the Gutenberg Gymnasium in Erfurt, Germany, the impact of the media interest. I discuss the posttraumatic stress of individuals, the school community, the inhabitants of Erfurt, and the participating psychotherapists in psycholegal, behavior-therapeutic, and trauma theory perspectives. I also address experiences in the rehabilitaion project.
